Another day slips away like a baby from a chair I watch the fall No one seems to care at all Not at all Another crime joins the line That stretches all the way to the sea But I'm glad it didn't happen to me Not to me We are passive people At the end of the day We let the outrage melt away It seems that life is so much easier that way We are passive people There's a lot that we can take Our hearts will dry up before they break No questions asked, just invisible ache The riches climb dime by dime So happy that we've finally got it made So the dollars aren't so evenly sprayed around But maybe -- yes -- I think they'll trickle down We have heaven-sent good intent We cry for lonely people at the movies We feel their pain We storm the streets but then it starts to rain It begins to rain We are passive people At the end of the day We let the outrage melt away It seems that life is so much easier that way We are passive people There's a lot that we can take Our hearts will dry up before they break No questions asked, just invisible ache
