It's been a long time coming
And I can hear the dogs there in the winter wind howling
You were a long time coming
And now we're all alone there's no one on our cellphones calling
We are a short ride nation
We'll drive around until we feel we've found our destination
But when they finally find us
We're too caught up in all these screens that constantly surround us
And we traded human skins
To become chameleons
We sugar coat out conversations
And when we go out we really stay in
We traded flesh and bones
To become hollow
Well I'm gonna let you know
That we're gonna be the people
It's been a misty morning
Much cloudier than all the other ones that came before them
I hear the train out hauling
It's rattling my windows all my pictures begin falling
And we traded human skins
To become chameleons
We'll photoshop out all our feelings
To forget about all our dealings
We traded flesh and bone to become too comfortable
Well I've gotta let things go
'Cause we're gonna be the people yeah
We traded human skins
Now we're all chameleons
We'll sugar coat our conversations
And when we go out we really stay in
We traded flesh and bones
Now we're all too comfortable
Well I'm gonna let things go
'Cause we're gonna be the people
