[Verse 1]
People just ain't no good
I think that's well understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good
[Verse 2]
We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made our vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds
[Verse 3]
The sun would stream on the sheets
Awoken by the morning bird
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
Never read a single word
[Chorus]
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good at all
[Verse 4]
Seasons came, seasons went
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air
[Verse 5]
The winter slammed us like a fist
The windows rattling in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils
[Chorus]
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good at all
[Verse 6]
To our love, send a dozen white lilies
To our love, send a coffin of wood
To our love, let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people, they just ain't no good
[Verse 7]
To our love, send back all the letters
To our love, a valentine of blood
To our love, let all the jilted lovers cry
That people, they just ain't no good
[Verse 8]
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
[Verse 9]
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'd stick by you if they could
But that's just bullshit baby
People just ain't no good
[Chorus]
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good at all
