Lyrics

Set me aside, you'll find people are the same everywhere
Hoist me from the herd and people are the same everywhere

Then our creator had to stumble and stall
And our creator had to make the biggest mistake of all
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Set me aside and find people are the same everywhere
Scoop me from the group and groups are the same everywhere

Then our creator had to stumble and stall
And our creator had to make the biggest mistake of all
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame but people are the same everywhere
The land of the free and the home of the brave exists nowhere
Here in our loveless nation, we're all in a rush
To find a lover's touch and when it's found you wonder why it meant so much
Yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame but people are the same
It's a shame, it's a shame but people are the same
