Lyrics We Forgot We Were Human - Dirt Poor Robins

What can be done when the world has lost its class?
Wrecking ships for love of all things fast
Though culture slows, this need for speed avails
So burn the coal and stow the sails
We point to progress with the hope it will distract
From crimes against the wisdom of the past
Now stacks of smoke and ash are casting trails
Where the air had once prevailed
So tell me, what do we need with the sun?
Now we have an electric one
To melt every shadow away
Turn the night into day
So give a shout of farewell
Now we know we can build it ourselves
But oh, we stared so long
We forgot we were human
We stand on shoulders of the giants of before
But unlike them, we see beyond the shore
The world's gateway, we play a game of chase
On the bit to win the race
What do you need with these vanities and charms?
Sell your fineries and take up arms
And at the front, these finds are guaranteed
Allied victory
So tell me, what do we need with the sun?
Now we have an electric one
To melt every shadow away
Turn the night into day
So give a shout of farewell
Now we know we can build it ourselves
But oh, we stared so long
We forgot we were human (What do we need with the sun?)
We forgot we were human (What do we need with the sun?)
We forgot we were human (What do we need with the sun?)
We forgot, we forgot we were human (What do we need with the sun?)
