People People

(album: That Was Now - 2023)

If you read the news today
You could be forgiven
For thinking there's no hope
For all of the human kind
If this cynicism
And that superstition
Became your position
Maybe it's not that much of a surprise

All the media drama
Keeps rolling
It's like wearing a balaclava
With no holes in
And all of the lies they feed us
When they bang on their little drums
Is making it feel like
Feel like no one likes anyone

Are we people people?
Are we people people?
Are we people people?
I don't really know if we're people people
Are we people people?
Are we people people?
Are we people people?
I don't really know if we're people people

It's harder to find your way
When you're deep in the shadows
And most of what's illuminated
Is the worst of the human kind
If all that suspicion
Is clouding your vision
With no opposition
Maybe it takes a hold inside your mind

While the media drama
Keeps rolling
It's like wearing a balaclava
With no holes in
And all of the lines they feed us
Contain the danger
That we could get lost
We could get lost in this echo chamber

Are we people people?
Are we people people?
Are we people people?
I don't really know if we're people people
Are we people people?
Are we people people?
Are we people people?
I don't really know if we're people people

You dug me out of this hole
You dug me out of this
You dug me out of this hole
You dug me out of this
But it took so long
It took so long
It took so long
It took so long

You dug me out of this hole
You dug me out of this
You dug me out of this hole
You dug me out of this
But it took so long (I can see people people)
It took so long (We can be people people)
It took so long (I bet you know people people)
It took so long (Everyone people people)

I can see people people
We can be people people
I bet you know people people
Everyone people people

I can see people people
We can be people people
I bet you know people people
Everyone people people
