Shadow people
What's in their head?
In the car next to you
When the light turns red

Could be thinkin' of love
Might be thinkin' of hate
I guess it pretty much
Could go either way

Shadow people in a shadow land
That one's thinking of great art
And eloquent words
That one's strapped on a gun
And joined up with a herd

That one's saving up water
Got some food stored away
For the war that's comin' on the Judgment Day

Shadow people in a shadow land

And this one carries a gun for the USA
He's a 21st 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 lands
Shadow people in shadow land
Shadow people in shadow land

Waiting for the sun to be straight overhead
'Til we ain't got no shadow at all
