Story behind the song
I read somewhere that what makes the human different from animals is, that we can learn from history ... when I look at history, this doesn't seem so true to me.
Lyrics
THE PEOPLE DIED by Bob T. Guevara Am /e Am /e Am T'was back in the early days /e Am /e Am Lots of people died of hunger and thirst C Then they invented money, Dm Devided them into rich and poor Am E Am . E Am And the people died some more. Populations grew People needed more land So they took it from each other, They went off to war And the people died some more. Old Europe was crowded Some were tired of living there So they took off with their ships And conquered foreign shores And there the people died some more. They finally thought That kings aren't the right thing. People wanted more rights That's what they made a revolution for And the people died some more. They invented new weapons Big bombs and guns And also the wars got bigger Two of them they even called 'world war' And the people died some more. They fought the fascists Then they fought the communists Now it's the terrorists they fight 'Till everyone lies dead on the floor And the people just die some more. People died for many-a causes Usually for the rich and mighty men. I think we will die Until they've got nothing left to let us die for Maybe then the people won't die anymore. Maybe the people won't die anymore.
