	Story Behind the Song I had the guitar riff and main chorus for well over a year before finally getting something down that I felt would work. I thought the imagery came out well, and I'll probably record this demo again for a future project. Lyrics People and Their Problems 1. Johnny's got the mumps Jenny's got the flu Sammy's in the dumps since gettin' dumped by Sue Chokin' on a fishbone cat stuck in a tree Sally lost her cellphone; she's hurtin spiritually People and their problems got me starin; starin' at the moon wishin' I could go somewhere I could be immune from all those black clouds hangin' over everybody's head, and I can't help them, just make things worse instead Storm's movin' in -- she's movin' out Whatever fix you're in, seems like what life's all about is People and their Problems It's a sad realization -- everybody's got 'em But is it best to leave a friend alone, or throw out a line... 2. Now you're losin' your power friendships pale your love goes sour, your chips go stale Tryin' to erase the blues you're stuck in TV shadows in your face; you're not watchin' A thousand times I stare up at that moonlit sky How could heartache like this happen to such a nice guy Goin' through the motion clickin' on the net headline makes you wonder how much worse it's gonna get Boys in the playground kickin' in the sand dictators, presidents -- I'm just tryin' to understand about People and their Problems It's a sad situation -- everybody's got 'em But should I try to work it out alone or should I reach for a line... ...and I'm hangin' in the air feelin' so proud and right tryin' not to care with all my might Angry 'bout the way things sometimes go missin' your kiss -- and the way I used to know when you were holdin' me... no problems c) Paul Meredith, 2002
