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
