Set me aside, you'll find
People are the same everywhere
Hoist me from the herd and
people are the same everywhere
Then our creator had to
stumble and stall
And our creator had to
make the biggest mistake of all
Yeah, yeah

Set me aside, and you'll find
people are the same everywhere
Scoop me from the group and
brutes are the same everywhere
Then our creator had to
stumble and stall
And our creator had to
make the biggest mistake of all
Yeah, yeah

It's a shame, it's a shame but
people are the same everywhere
"The land of the free" and the
"home of the brave" exists nowhere

Here in our loveless nation,
We're all in a rush
to find a lover's touch
And when it's found, you wonder
why it meant so much
Yeah, yeah

It's a shame, it's a shame
but people are the same
It's a shame, it's a shame
but people are the same
