What Are People For?
The last time I went home
They built a town on top of the woods where I’d roamed
A factory and a company store
And little square apartments with Ikea furniture
And everything was so clean and so nice
I snuck inside and walked the gray rubber floors
I swear I didn’t want to bomb the place
I just expected from life something more
You can sell off all of your trees
You can hunch over working till your dreamless sleep
But when it come time for your reckoning day
You gonna say, I don’t know for what I was made
I left the landscape of my heart
To contribute to society and make Excel charts
Now I’m back and I’m looking for my dog
I’m looking for the path we would take to the sacred log
And everything’s so strange and contained
And no one wants to talk about the thrill of summer rain
I swear I will walk that same road
Even if I have to break down doors
Chorus
What are people for? Do you really have to do it to survive?
What are people for? You gotta live your life before you die
Chorus
Bridge
Because you gonna die
So you better live you better live your life
