True People

by Matt Sellers - Aquarius

Down here
Where no man can stand
And the lame dance like visions of hope
The tall skyscrapers
Tower like demons with money
Princess of the glitter picks a dress to elope

I wanna stand with the true people
People of cotton and rice
People of fire and ice
People of music and verse
I wanna stand with you honey
Under the star wounded universe

Your mother
With your father in a noose
Spends her last ten dollars on a few tears
The righteous are sweating
'Cause it's cold everywhere
They say everything will be alright but they haven't been here

I wanna stand with the true people
People of cotton and rice
People of fire and ice
People of music and verse
I wanna stand with you honey
Under the star wounded universe

Reason for writing:

    True people are the blokes in the local pub, the young street people who sell me stuff and that nice looking blonde chick who dosen't fuck around.
