I pa**ed a man on my corner on the way to find a job
"Hey man, can you help me? You know times are hard."
Well, I thought to myself too many people are on the street
So I just kept on walking and stared at my feet
Oh, what else could I do?
Oh come on, I bet you would do just the same
Well, I got to the office and walked through the door
The room was so crowded, filled from wall to wall
Well, a woman came out, and over the talking she yelled
"There are too many people, the positions are all filled."
Oh, what else could she do?
I guess I would do just the same
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well now, on my way home I saw that man again
"Hey there now brother, can you give me a hand?"
Well I didn't pretend that I couldn't hear
'Cause this time his words were so painfully clear
Are there too many people? (Too many people)
Are there too many people? (Too many people)
Are there too many people? (Too many people)
Are there too many people?
