This song has yet to appear on an album. Its lyrics are transcribed here without permission as they are heard on the Janice Long session version (the only official audio release of the song).

Set me aside
You'll find people are the same everywhere
Hoist me from the herd
And people are the same everywhere

Then our Creator had to
Stumble and stall
And our Creator had to make
The biggest mistake of all
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Set me aside
And find people are the same everywhere ¹
Scoop me from the group
And brutes are the same everywhere

Then our Creator had to
Stumble and stall
And our Creator had to make
The biggest mistake of all
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame
But people are the same everywhere
The land of the free and the home of the brave ²
Exist nowhere

Here in our loveless nation
We're all in a rush ³
To find a lover's touch
And when it's found
You wonder why it meant so much
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame
But people are the same
