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

[Break]

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
