about

My People is the second single released off the upcoming Madness Inside Album.

lyrics

Ran into a guy who I could always see through, he bragged of all the bands that I really should know
It’s a funny thing that this supposed culture rat never seems to find his way to a show

Ran into a gal who I used to know in high school, she used to be as thin as a twig
Now excessive couch time has tripled up her waistline and she never comes to our gigs

But then there’s you, the coochie coo, the tooty fruit, you’re ten feet tall, bullet proof
A little bit off, gotta’ rotten mouth, and I need you so very much

You are my people, my holy cathedral, a huddled mass of misfit folks
You always give to others and never mind the bother of being hitched to the blessed yoke
You’ve caused a lotta carnage, you’re reputation’s tarnished, that’s what happens when you do it your way
You give the middle finger to life’s supposed winners and you never obey

Who the hell are townies and what’s your beef with townies, thanks for asking here’s the 411
A derogatory noun, describing one, who’s a walking, talking re-run

They're like sheep in a herd, can’t think for themselves, have to be told what to buy off the shelves
But the worst thing of all they don’t like people like me, yea, how can that be

But then there’s you, the coochie coo, the tooty fruit, you’re ten feet tall, bullet proof
A little bit off, gotta’ rotten mouth, and I need you so much

You are my people, my holy cathedral, a huddled mass of misfit folks
You always give to others and never mind the bother of being hitched to the blessed yoke
You’ve caused a lotta carnage, you’re reputation’s tarnished, that’s what happens when you do it your way
You give the middle finger to life’s supposed winners and you never obey
