the sun starts to climb in the eastern sky
brings a quiet sleeping town back to life
the lights turn from green to yellow to red
the sidewalks start filling up again
a man in a black suit stands alone on a bridge
wishing for a woman that'll never be his
the cars that pass him by have different shapes and names
they were made by different people in a thousand different places
and the people who drive them don't know those names
but they know where they're going because it's always the same
and the sounds that they make wake the people who live
in the houses along side the over crowded highways
and this is how we'll get what we need, what we're wanting
we'll close our eyes and shoot up at the sky until we hit something
as the earth turns the sun seems to move higher in the sky
eyes, mouths, and doors keep opening wide
an old man takes a seat in the chair on his porch
to watch the young men on their way to do what they think is important
and the school teachers, ditch diggers, criminals and cops
take their places at the bottom and their places at the top
and whatever they'll do is based on what they've done
they'll live to get old or they'll live to die young
and this is how we'll get what we need, what we're wanting
we'll close our eyes and shoot up at the sky until we hit something
