Too Many People

There's a story that I read about in books 
About the bad times that people had 
That's how he planned it 
You can't do nowt about it 
Too many people 

The black plague came along and wiped out quite a few 
The rats came with the graves, that's how we knew 
That's how he planned it 
You can't do nowt about it 
Too many people 

This ain't no story 
No fairy tale 
These things have happened once before 
Ask yourself the question 
When will it end 
There ain't no foolin' death 
So you just gotta sit and wait

Too many people 
Too many people 

This ain't no story 
No fairy tale 
These things have happened once before 
Ask yourself the question 
When will it end 
There ain't no foolin' death 
So you just gotta sit and wait 

A million people died 
In great wars, that we know 
They sacrificed their lives 
Just goes to show 
That's how he planned it 
You can't do nowt about it 

Too many people (there's too many people) 
Too many people 
Too many people 
Too many people oh yeah
