We're Only People (And There's Not Much Anyone Can Do About That)

People, we're only people
 ♪
 There's not much anyone can do, really do, about that
 But it hasn't stopped us yet
 People, we know so little about ourselves
 ♪
 But just enough to wanna be nearly anybody else
 Now how does that add up?
 Oh, friends, all my friends
 Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling
 
 Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been
 And I'll see you the next time 'round the bend
 ♪
 People, what's the deal?
 You've been hurt and I've been hurt
 But what do we do now?
 
 People, we're only people
 ♪
 Ain't a thing one person can ever change about that
 Oh, friends, all my friends
 Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling
 
 Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been
 And I'll see you the next time 'round the bend
 ♪
 I think the end of it all may look a lot like the beginning
 But passed around from hand to hand screaming for no particular reason
 The company gets pretty thin so we start to shed all our distinctions
 So why not me?
 Why not you?
 Why not now?
