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 shit 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.
