They'll take your love and your money
They'll take your sugar and your honey
They'll take you skinny or fat
Why are people like that?
They'll take your job and your home
They'll take the flesh from your bone
They'll take the shirt off your back
Why are people like that?
They'll take your dog and your car
They'll go and push it too far
They'll break your heart even fun
Why are people like that?
They'll make you sleep in the street
Won't give you nothing to eat
They'll lie to you, that's a fact
Why are people like that?
They'll take your farm and your crop
They'll take ev'rything you've got
They'll laugh behind your back
Why are people like that?
Why are people like that?
Why are people like that?
I don't know why they act like that
Why are people like that?
