You Know We Do Lyrics

Early morning coffee, we burn our lips and stare out in the gloom

We're up before the birds, and we're searching for the words to start anew

We're striving for the answers, but we can't even afford a pair of shoes

Do we really have the kind of freedom that we always tell ourselves we do

You know we do…

Instead of rolling hills, we're paying bills

Our food is plastic goo, and we're taking pills

Distraction hides our plight, is there any end in sight

Gotta try something new…

You know we do…

We head out in the rain and snow, and push right through the pain, you know we do

Another day of pushing, pulling, shoveling, and struggling for food

We've been putting in the hours, and we're hoping that the powers pay our due

They say, you were the greatest worker, and we've got a pine box specially for you

You know we do…

Instead of rolling hills, we're paying bills

Our food is plastic goo, and we're taking pills

Distraction hides our plight, is there any end in sight

Gotta try something new…

You know we do…

It's time to see the light

Distracted by our pride

We have to look inside

See the pattern of our life

Is it what we feel is right

Or is it all we've ever tried

Gotta try something new…

You know we do…
