Lyrics
Were tired of reaching for the tempered dream Of stretching days and getting squeezed by years And bored with the swaggers the pushes and shoves Of people in rushes to get somewhere Like hogs in a slaughterhouse hoping to eat Like children in the rye without a catcher Why chase the wind we can turn and face it Why measure time by the mirror in our room We can follow earth we can follow sun We can follow stars and moon Were dying to live in the material world While blinded by the pixels as they stream Wed sooner starve alone in the lively air Than follow billions to a phone dream Like hogs in a slaughterhouse hoping to eat Like children in the rye without a catcher Why chase the wind we can turn and face it Why measure time by the mirror in our room We can follow earth we can follow sun We can follow stars and moon
