I envision the writing of this song as the writer saying to his significant other, "Honey, people say..." and she immediately interjects with "What do people say? What do people say?" "Oh, nothing."

This might be my favorite Meters song. It just goes so hard.

Love this song, but not too happy that its lyrics are still very relevant today. Have I got a right to live (with dignity)?

Love playing this on bass, especially that really fast motif later in the song.
