[Originally from the musical "Hair," here as performed by Three Dog Night]

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold

/ Cmaj7 - A7 - / / D - Em A D - - - /

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

{Refrain}
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, I need a friend

/ G Dm G Dm / / Em A7 Em A7 / Em A7 D - Cmaj7 A7 /

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

{Refrain}

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Come, on, easy to give in, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Much too easy to say no
