Humans

[F]
I know what you think
We are humans
I know what you think
We are humans, we are
On and on and on and on we go
Dreamwalking
With the moods on your mind
Since they know what we'll find
Build the wall, built it blind
Swinging up and down
I Said, You Said
I said
It's all gone to your head
Don't want to be force-fed
That's sad
You said
Don't look at me like that
I think I'm going mad
That's bad
Everybody's going round in circles
Everybody's going round in circles
Everybody's going round and I feel dizzy
Parasites
How did we end up
Doing what we've been doing?
We thought it was nice and innocent
Now we can see it's full of people
Who do it for the wrong reason
(And) I'm looking round
All I can see is hollow faces
Money rules the game
They all hang on like parasites
What is cool and
What it is not
It changes in a day
If you want to make it
To the top
There is a game you have to play
Like Machines

[Em G]
It's the praying time
Ticking in my head
And it's getting late
But it's not all dead
Just another day
Getting under way
I'm not a little girl
But I like to play
[Em C Am G]
I know giving in to the sorrow
I surrender myself to what will be tomorrow
The dark, the mist, the crying here
The pushing forwards like machines
And time is running out on us
No time
We haven't done it yet
We've spent so many years
With every debt
But I'm still not blind
To what you achieve
It's the way you do it
And what you believe

The Fishes and the Shining Sea
I'm standing in a room
I'm standing in between
Stretching towards the door
Reaching to touch the floor
The fishes and the shining sea
The sun between the moving trees
The fly swims in the liquid air
The car slips on the raining street
I'm hiding in the dark
I'm hiding in between
Running towards the wall
Shrieking and growing tall
Shining shining shining shining sea
Shining shining shining shining sea
I'm sitting uninspired
Empty and undefined
Waking and growing tired
Sinking and floating on
Fly
I'm sitting on a hill
Looking at the people down below
They all get on with their lives
I think I'll stay here for a while
Laying on my back, I'm looking at the cloudy sky
Please don't feel sad, you don't know why you can fly
I'll take a bus to town
And walk a stroll through ancient streets
Everybody's running round
But I just wander, looking at my feet
It's Odd
[B F#]
You used to be the coolest things
You were the one that pulled the strings
But now you calculated false
You claim to be the people's voice
[B F# B A B F#]
And don't you think it's odd?
All your thoughts are full of shit
And spoken with this bunch of kids
You had your power much too long
But by tomorrow you'll be gone

Why don't you show your real face?
You have no dignity or grace
Tomorrow is another day
And someone else will scrape the clay

Machine, I dreamed, let's swing, you're bad
I'm sad, you're glad, you're closed, you're dust
Don't care, no fair, who's there, OK
Your way, don't play, it's odd, inside
