John Prine - People Puttin' People Down Lyrics






People who are sad - sometimes they wear a frown
And people who are kings - sometimes they wear a crown
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

People without love - sometimes build a fence around
The garden up above - that makes the whole world go 'round
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

So cold, sometimes it gets so cold

You may love your wife - you may lose your family
You may lose you mind - just to keep your sanity
But the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

People that are glad - sometimes they wear a smile
And people without dreams they walk the extra mile
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people dwn
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

So cold, sometimes it gets so cold

    American Treasure

  18. j.... ....

  24. G.... W....

    I needed to hear some Prine today. Thanks, John.

    G.... W....

    me too! Hi from UK …

  25. G.... M....

    John Prine is THE American Poet

  26. C.... ....

    I see that 16 people put this song down. So 0.02% visitors to this song have been hardcore trolls. Actually a low % for most of YouTube.

  27. r.... j....

    reminds me of what Fox News (?) does all day and all night
    ........

    r.... j....

    Fox News is the only network that does NOT do this. Correction: Fox News and One America News Network. I can't watch the rest of the so-called News Channels anymore because they have been compromised, and it makes me sick to know that most Americans get their daily dose of news from such corrupt sources. CNN used to be THE place to go for news, too. Now you can't believe a thing they say because they have been caught lying so often.

    r.... j....

    @Tina Goins Thank you - finally someone who understands.

    r.... j....

    Tucker and hannity and few others but alot of even fox has been compromised.

  28. E.... M....

    Sounds as if he's singing about 2019. What a talented singer/songwriter/story teller.

  29. T.... ....

    John is an American treasure. He writes good songs because he has an acute view of the world and he's a clever motherfucker! He works hard at it and uses the American slang and common phrases to great effect. But mainly he's a humble, hard working, smart and CLEVER man. Thanks John you are a true entertainer, a show business staple, and a spotlight hog if I ever saw one.

    T.... ....

    TheNaturalust g

    T.... ....

    A spotlight hog? I disagree.

  30. W.... D....

    The people who put people down are the ones who do fit and think they are better than those who don't. Just saying

  31. H.... C....

    THE GARDEN UP ABOVE MAKES THE WHOLE WORLD GO ROUND.

  32. F.... T....

    His poetry will, one day, be in the American Canon.

  33. L.... L....

    John , we need you around for a long time. You and your wonderful songs help human consciousness advance . . . and make us feel . GLewis, Sr
