Shadow People

Shadow people

What's in their head?

In the car next to you

When the light turns red

Could be thinking of love

Might be thinking of hate

I guess it pretty much could go either way

Shadow people

In shadow land

That one's thinking of great art

And eloquent words

That one's strapped on a gun

And joined up with the herd

That one's saving up water

Got some food stored away

For the war that is coming on the judgement day

Shadow people

In shadow land

And this one carries a gun for the USA

He's a twenty-first century man

And he's scary as hell 'cause when he's afraid

He'll destroy anything he don't understand

Well, I ain't on the left

And I ain't on the right

I ain't even sure

I got a dog in this fight

In my time of need

In my time of grief

I feel like a shadow's falling over me

Like shadow people

In shadow land

Shadow people

In shadow land

Shadow people

In the shadow land

Waiting for the sun to be straight overhead

Till we ain't got no shadow at all
