Typical - We the Living

All we are

All the volumes

Can’t contain us

So place your blame and punctuate it

With sharp-tongued words from sharp-tongued sages

All we are

All the wisdom

Can’t contain us

We’re typical

We’re typical

But you can’t read about us anymore

We’re typical

We’re typical

And all the words we knew that came before

On the fire are crackling pages of ancient words and ancient places

Take my hand

Through the forest of the knowledge we’ve created

We’ll read the lines that mark our ages

Wrinkled eyes and wrinkled faces

(Read them down to our mouths, forming words and forming phrases)

We’re typical

We’re typical

But you can’t read about us anymore

We’re typical

We’re typical

And all the words we knew that came before

Our love will not stand on the shoulders of greatness

All you are

And all I am

Never before and never again

We’re typical

We’re typical

But you can’t read about us anymore

We’re typical

We’re typical

But you can’t be without him anymore

We’re typical

We’re typical

And all the words we knew that came before
