Lyrics
Sittin' in the shelter... head
between my knees
Can't afford to struggle, I can't
afford to sneeze
Got my gas mask on and I'm laughing
like there's no tomorrow
All care but no responsibility is
taken
For the heap of garbage on the side
of the road
Got my back door covered but the
beast is on the loose again
We the people, who live next door
We are the ones you can feel through
the floor
Back in the good old days you pain a
penny to the preacher
A pound of flesh to keep the planet
alive
Pass around the pie, we're gonna suck
on this supper together
We got religion, we got the gun
We got the power to put out the sun
Come on everybody don't you know that
you can dream forever!
We the people, who live next door
We are the ones you can feel through
the floor
We got the power but oh we are weak
We are brave in our silence
But we are too scared to speak
We will carry the impossible load
While our leaders weep like children
On the side of the road
We've been dreaming, dreaming so long
We've been taken so far from where we
belong
We the people
We the people, who live next door
We are the ones you can feel through
the floor
We got the power but oh we are weak
We are the brave in our silence
But we are too scared to speak
We will carry the impossible load
While our leaders weep like children
On the side of the road
We've been dreaming, dreaming so long
We've been taken so far from where we
belong
