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