People Like Me & You

Came the fire Then came the spear Then the pen and the stamp and the seal Number on a screen She disappears Do you want to know What they do to people like you and me Open your eyes You have to see it to believe Stay between the lines Stay behind the mirror Behind the curtain and licking at the heel The neighbors point He disappears You don't want to know What they do to people like you and me Names without faces If history is to be believed They crept into my room And they took all proof That once there were people like me and you Keep the colors Between the lines Shut your eyes and disappear I think that you should know What they do to people like you And people like me All the files are missing Or cannot be retrieved They casually crept into my room And then they sterilized the truth About people like me and you They snatched you from your bed And then they carefully Smoothed down the sheets To erase all proof Once there were people like me and you (People like me and you)
