Living breathing human beings
Inhabit my periphery
In glorious pa**ivity
I am surrounded
All of them have names and faces
Loving friends and close relations
Secrets kept in sordid places
Don't you tell a soul
Living breathing human beings
Are s**ing all my energy
With coughing fits a eulogy
Will be in order
With blame alive like crooked teeth
The gaps aflame with subtlety
And everyone including me
Is moving backwards
A simple, sterile, solitary kitchen sink
With faith will bring together everything
Could I sleep for just one night here on your floor?
I wouldn't ask for more
Living breathing human beings
Are walking, running, hurrying
On paper routes and studying
We're so much smarter
Adding to our knowledge bases
Learning facts to get us places
Building our own brand new nation
Let my people go
Living breathing human beings
Are pa**ed out in pools of anything
Drowned in words and cycling
Through cartoon movies
I remember everything
That anybody says to me
So I burn CDs to give for free
A simple, sterile, solitary kitchen sink
With faith will bring together everything
Could I sleep for just one night here on your floor?
I wouldn't ask for more
