lyrics

Watchin' TV and talking 'bout work
We're more the same than different
How's it we're so defensive about change?
When you boil it down, we only read the headlines

I wonder what kind of music they listened to,
is it something you dance to?
Is it something you lay in the dark
and listen to in your bedroom?

We're 21st century people
Don't bleed the story out of our lives
Even if the self-proclaimed moral kinds scream
But I'm clean!

I wonder what kind of music they listened to,
is it something you dance to?
Is it something you lay in the dark
and listen to in your bedroom?

One of us poked holes in the sky

And I choked on a star
And nothing mattered
For I was small
Even if I believed
I was the world
