These Are Not My People - Johnny Rivers

First your momma and your poppa send you to the finest schools

Never let it be said that their little darlin' was a fool

So with a credit card and your good name

You were drawn like a moth to a flame

To that crowd of the night where you more less blew your cool

Well, you had 20−20 vision but still you were walking' 'round hushed (oh shooby

do was, oh, yeah)

And whether right or wrong I still tag along behind (oh shooby do was, oh, now)

Now if you think that’s reality

And, girl, if that’s what you wanna be

It’s time to say you go your way and I’ll go mine

It’s been a gas but I’m gonna have to pass

These are not my people, no, no

These are not my people

Looks like, yeah, my friend, I’ve got to get in the wind, my friend (oh, yeah)

Woah

(Oh shooby do wop, oh yeah)

(These are not my people

These are not my people

Looks like, yeah, I’ve got to get in the wind, oh, no)

If you find yourself naked in the world with no place to hide (shooby do woo,

oh, yeah)

And you feel the force of your god and he has died (shooby do woo, oh, no)

Yeah, your a rebel that’s got no cause

A tiger that’s got no claws

Oh, they promised you the world on a string but you know they lied

Oh, they said you’d be back in a big, black limousine (shooby do woo, oh, yeah)

But you know I’m inclined to believe that’s not the kind you mean (shooby do

woo, oh, no)

'Cause when you’re falling' down offa your cloud

And you just wanna be some crowd

There gonna throw you away like last week’s magazines

It’s been a gas but I’m gonna pass

These are not my people, girl

These are not my people

Looks like, yeah, my friend, I’ve got to get in the wind, my friend

Looks like, yeah, my friend, I’ve got to get in the wind
