lyrics

…and we’ve heard it all before
Lights, Camera, Action and all so-to-speaks
Hatred placed in living spaces
Shallow thoughts for hallow circumstance
Please keep it down, we’ve got to sleep

…and we’ve seen this all before
it “gets too lonely with the populace”
toughened lives by roughened dives
A sob story for mob mentality

Can we see it in your eyes?
Can you seem to sympathize?
One day wonder if your cart’s too full
Can we see it in your eyes?
I’ve got the notion that you’ll size it up
And then take off because
These people living on got no time
For goings on.
I can see it in their eyes.
Matters of the heart keep on pumping
Days along.
I can see it in their eyes.
I can see it.

These “things” have families
and despite you continue to grow
Always keeping the soul close
A place of business is never closed
And we see it in your eyes
And we see you sympathize
Have no wonder why your cart’s not full
And we see it in your eyes
I’ve got the notion that you’ll size it up
And then take off because

These people living on got no time
For goings on.
I can see it in their eyes.
Matters of the heart keep on pumping
Days along.
I can see it in their eyes.
