People In The Streets

Life keeps on going

Showing you things that you can't unsee

In the sense of unknowing why

Anything happens to be

And just as the sun comes out again

Something is blocking the light

But it's alright

The inside's still glowing

Telling the heart what it wants to hear

But what if it's only lies

Twisted apart by fear?

Well, that's when the brain waves goodbye

From the front of the train where the corn is burned

And you know the refrain without hearing a sound

So you sing it again 'cause you won't learn

From the people in the streets

Wheels left the ground

Hoping to fly past the road ahead

Components start breaking down

And sooner or later, you're dead

And just when the wool goes over the eyes

Somebody moves you along

But it's all wrong

And someone complained that the fire was out

So they shot off the rain and let the flames return

Now they had to rename all the tricks in the book

And I'm starting to doubt where I once stood

And there's people in the streets

There's people in the streets

People in the streets

There's people in the streets

End of the line

In real time

I'll start clinging to what's mine

They're marching to the beat of a different drum

Going over receipts with a magnifier

The people in the streets aren't singing along

'Cause they're probably sick and they're probably tired

I listen for the sound of the starting gun

But when you're living the dream and your ears are bad

The people in the streets aren't part of the fun

And I'd go and join them, but I'm so scared

Of the people in the streets

The people in the streets

People in the streets

The people in the streets
