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 all right 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 coal 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 shut 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 stopped 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
