Why Are People Like That?

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?
