People... ('Round and 'round and around...) People make the world go 'round ('Round and 'round and around...)
Teachers on strike, no more school today They want more money but the board won't pay People Everybody's talkin' 'bout ecology The air's so polluted that it's hard to breathe People
Refrain But that's what makes the world go round The ups and downs a carousel Changing people's heads around Go underground young men... People make the world go round...
Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear They'd swear you're a hippy if you have long hair Young politicians fight for poverty While people still cry for equality
Refrain But that's what makes the world go round The ups and downs a carousel Changing people's heads around Go underground young men... People make the world go round...
(Instrumental)
Refrain But that's what makes the world go round The ups and downs a carousel Changing people's heads around Go underground young men... People make the world go round...
