The Henry Clay People - Hide lyrics

I heard your story Something ‘bout some guy with a plan He said something ‘bout an idea that I swear you already had But now you want it back again so you can sell it on back to your friends I still feel too young to ever do what I'm told Our blood runs hot but our heart beats cold And our stubborn heads never let sh** go Even when we know we should And we know we should So we went missing while they were sleeping We spread ourselves out and started dreaming Of a quiet life we could leave behind We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide This story's boring Don't waste your time setting the scene Twenty kids can count 200 kids can see A dozen folks will ride the rest of us will read about the places that we'll never go But we went to school ‘cos we do what we're told And we found some jobs and paid off our loans Then we lost our jobs so let your parents know That you'll be moving home So we went missing while they were sleeping We spread ourselves out and started dreaming Of a quiet life we could leave behind We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide Faster than they thought we could hide So tell me where you been We've been standing on the corner Shouting on the corner waiting for someone to Say something meaningful or just cynical We need a miracle now, now, now, now, now So we went missing while they were sleeping We spread ourselves out, we spread ourselves out To farms and cities across the country We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide Faster than they thought we could hide
