Some People Lyrics & Chords By The Hollyfelds

He started off fine, an idealist in every way
He lived on a commune, ate what his friends grew and said what he wanted to say
He didn't really care, what he was paid
He stood up for the poor and he stood against wars and it only got better each day
Until slowly, over time, (it seemed more fun) to be more than fine, and the money and the job didn't seem so bad

Some people never change
Some people never change
You' ll just eventually be the way they want you to be
Some people never change

So he moved to the city, and got himself a business life
Money doesn't grow on trees and doesn't come from saying please, there's all these clothes he bought for his wife
It seemed to all happen, overnight
Next thing he knew lawyers told him what to do and that everything would be all right
Because slowly, over time, (it seemed more fun) to be more than fine
And the money and the job didn' seem so bad

Well, on the bad days, it's all he thinks about
He wonders where he went wrong and if it's too long gone it's nothing that he'll ever talk about
And he knows, that he'll always stay
The money and power have him stronger by the hour those he crushed will understand someday
Because really, over time, it's not that fun to be more than fine and the money and the job, they do seem that bad...
