Lyrics:
Walkin outta the station feeling like a ghost
Late in the day
I left when it started to get to be a little too much
A little too much
Maybe if I learned how to laugh I’d do better
At getting things I don’t understand
Like why we put the poison and trash in this water
Why we try so hard to forget
One foot follows the other
like it knows where it’s been
I can’t wait to discover
all the places I’m looking into
Maybe if I learned how to scream I’d do better
At saying things the way that mean
Like why we’re dropping bombs and destroying each other
Acting like we wipe our hands clean
Looking for a courage that’s stupid in numbers
We do it just to feel alive
Give a man a suit and he’s still a big robber
We pay him more to nickel and dime
Walking up on a stranger and I give him a nod
Sometimes there can be danger
in the friendliest face we turn on
You could be a friend or a foe or a brother
I could say I don’t have the time
Maybe if I learned how to punch I’d do better
At staying up and staying alive
I wonder bout the drugs that we take
Bodies that are pumping with love
I wonder bout the paper we trade
Money that is stronger than blood
