Name: People without Souls
Duration: P00H01M07S
Description: This was inspired (in the broadest sense of the word) by a rather nasty boss at a temp job in L.A. back in the early 90s when I was doing that sort of thing. It's probably the shortest song I've ever written.

lyrics

People without souls
Are no fun at all
People without souls
They make your skin crawl
People without souls
Have no sense of humor
They’re hearts eaten ‘way
By a life hating tumor

And people without souls
Are often in power
People without souls
They always turn sour
People without souls
You know what is said
They don’t have to die
They’re already dead
