These Are Not My People

These Are Not My People:Billy Joe Royal. #113 on BB Hot 100 on Columbia Records in 1967. INTRO: .. #1. First your mama and your papa sent you to the finest school. Never let it be said that their little darling was a fool. With a credit card and your good name your’re drawn like a moth to the flame..to the people of the night where you more or less lost your cool. #2. Yeah you had 20/20 vision and still you were walking around blind. Yes and whether right or wrong I still tag along behind. But you’re flying too high for me and if this is how it’s got to be. Then it’s time to say you go your way I go mine. It’s been a gas but I’m gonna have to pass. CHORUS: These are not my people..these are not my people. Looks like the end my friend..gonna get in the wind my friend. #3. You find yourself naked in the world with no place to hide. Then you felt the pulse of your mind and it had died. And all you rebels that have got no cause and all you tigers that have got no claws. They promise you the world on a string but you know they lied. #4. Yeah you said you’d be back in a black Cadillac limousine. But I’m inclined to think it’s not the kind you mean. Cause when you fall down off your cloud and you’re just another face in the crowd. They’re gonna throw you away like last weeks magazines.. party pals and socialable gals. CHORUS: These are not my people..these are not my people. Looks like the end my friend..gonna get in the wind my friend. OUTRO: Looks like the end my friend..gotta get in the wind my friend. Looks like the end my friend..gonna get in the wind my friend. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
