Too Many - Sloan

Let’s get something straight

No one decides another person’s fate

I tried to look inside the head of all the changes planned

And now I can’t believe my eyes

I never cozied up to hate

I try to pedal in a fog of love

And if believers couldn’t see in it — oh my God

There’d be nobody left alive

You’ve got to fight for what you believe

Some people really really fight for what they believe in

And then the rain comes falling down upon your skin

Never washing off the reasons for the state we’re in

It’s the year two thousand and eight

Too many bombs ticking, lying in wait

And what are we going to do

There’s too many of us

And there’s so many more to come

There’s too many people

Fighting wars that can’t be won

Girl

Why do you do the things you do

And boys

You really know your black and blue, don’t ya

You’ve learned to fight for what you believe

You’ve learned to fight for what you’ve been taught to believe

You stand so tall

And you know you know it all

Well when the pain’s so bad you cancel all your plans

To bring a rain so hard and now it’s on your hands

Just come on up, sit down and close your eyes

There’s a coat you can have, it looks just your size

You’ll be wearing it under the gun

There’s too many of us

And there’s so many more to come

There’s too many people

Fighting wars that can’t be won

There’s just too many of us

And there’s so many more to come

There’s too-too-too many people

Fighting wars that can’t be won
