The Hollies - Too Many People lyrics

There's a story that I read about in books About the bad times that people had That's how he planned it You can't do naught about it Too many people The black plague came along and wiped out quite a few The rats came with the graves, that's how we knew That's how he planned it You can't do naught about it Too many people This ain't no story No fairy tale These things have happened once before Ask yourself the question When will it end There ain't no foolin' d**h So you just gotta sit and wait Too many people Too many people This ain't no story No fairy tale These things have happened once before Ask yourself the question When will it end There ain't no foolin' d**h So you just gotta sit and wait A million people died In great wars, that we know They sacrificed their lives Just goes to show That's how he planned it You can't do naught about it Too many people (there's too many people) Too many people Too many people Too many people oh yeah
