People On The Street Lyrics by String Driven Thing

The Machine That Cried

0

So many people on the street
It's sad to think they're gonna die
The only link we have cut
You start off fresh and full of life
A life that's bright and full of light
The crowds of faces on the street
The lady that you're gonna meet
But time's gonna shoot you down in the end
Time's gonna shoot you down in the end
You'll find everything has turned to dust
You've seen those faded photographs (Faded photographs)
Crowded streets and horse-drawn trams (And horse-drawn trams)
The hopes, the dreams, the plans they made (The plans they made)
The love affairs that flare and fade
But time's gonna shoot you down in the end
Time's gonna shoot you down in the end
You'll find everything has turned to dust
Time shot down the twenties
With the bootleg and its flappers
Time shot down the thirties
The years, an act by Hitler
Time shot down the forties
And the freedom that they fought for
Time shot down the fifties
With the innocence of Monrow
Time shot down the sixties
With the Kennedys and Vietnam
And there you are and here I am
Office girls and movie stars
Actors in a two-bit farce
Specimens in see-through jars
Just so many people on the street
Just so many people on the street
Just so many people on the street
Just so many people on the street
Just so many people on the street
You've seen those faded photographs (Faded photographs)
Another ending heirless line (The heirless line)
The hopes, the dreams, the plans they made (The plans we made)
The love affairs that flare and fade
But time's gonna shoot you down in the end
Time's gonna shoot you down in the end
Time's gonna shoot you down in the end
Time's gonna shoot you down in the end
Time's gonna shoot you down in the end
Time's gonna shoot you down in the end
