Too Many People (This Must Be the Place 28th September 1965) - The Hollies

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 naught 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 naught 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 naught about it

Too many people (there's too many people)

Too many people

Too many people

Too many people oh yeah
