People
Doing things though they don't know why
Terrified of one another
Telling lies, crying all night
Ah, the tears are in their eyes
They don't even know why
They are sleeping
Eyes open, middle of the day
Celebrating crumbs they're given
Television on mind blank
In the middle of the day they just sit away
And wait for you to
Say all they want you to say
And make every movement the same
Take your life
Stay locked inside the people's cage
Shh, they're speaking
Words coming out
Spilled down the brain
Disintegrated into pieces
Meaningless, just a waste
They're all spilling down their brains
Swept up and then thrown away
They are loving being replications
Sick and still dancing
Sad and still smiling
You can tell them anything
But they won't understand
What you mean til you
Say all they want you to say
And make every movement the same
Take your life
Stay locked inside the people's cage
They dream about being so much more
They can't see
Can't you see you're only just people?
