lyrics

We lock ourselves inside of comfortable cages
Television looks at us and gauges
How much we need, what we should need
Isn’t that the American Dream?

Down the street, there’s a tired man
Cardboard sign and an old tin can
Scrawled in sharpie, he pleads for grace:
“I’m not a sickness, I’m part of the human race”
Human race

We are the Love
Beautifully broken
We’re on fire because of
The words that you’ve spoken

There’s a single mother
Lost her man in a car wreck
Now she’s living for her daughter
But she’s living check to check
People see her on the street
Say she sucks us dry on her welfare
She’s got no freedom of speech
‘Cause no one listens; no one cares

[Chorus]

We are the hands
We are the feet
But are we living like it?
In foreign lands
Or on our street
Are we living like it?

[Chorus]
