Too Many People
There's too many people and not enough room
Take a trip to the market any afternoon
Highways are jammed with cars six abreast
Crowded hospitals people waiting for tests
Long lines at the movies or your favourite eatery
Suburbs are expanding we're losing our scenery
How to survive if populations keep rising
Leaders are concerned which is not surprising
Don't have any answers only same questions
Begging for help have you got some suggestions
The ingenuity of man has always come through
When threatened we've always known what to do
Let hope mankind finds the solution some day
Otherwise our civilization will just fade away
