How many people
   Stand in a line?
   How many people
   Never get a chance to shine?
   If you can tell me
   I`ll gladly listen
   How many people have died?
  
   One too many right now for me
   I want to be happy,
   I want to be free,
   One too many right now for me
   I want to see ordinary people living peacefully.
  
   How many people
   Go for a ride
   How many people
   Never make it through to the other side?
   If you can tell me
   I`ll gladly listen,
   How many people have cried?
  
   One too many...
  
   How many people
   Will it take?
   How many people
   For goodness sake?
   How many people?
   How many people?
  
   One too many...
