We sang to bring the harvest in We sang with lovers and we sang with kin We sang 'round the fire 'til the dawn began We sang and we sang and we sang We sang when the baby was new in our arms Sang when the mother was gone too soon We stood 'round a box with a flute and a drum And we sang and we cried and we sang 'Cause we are something more than money machines We're surely, surely something more We're quarter tones and dreams We sang in the car on the way to work We sang in the joy and we sang at the hurt We sang as we all went out for the night And we rolled home drunk and we think we sounded alright 'Cause we are something more than working machines We're surely, surely something more Than photographs on screens We lie awake at night and crave some deeper company We're blood and bones and payday loans And all the messy magic in between We sang when the darkness scared the child We sang when love was young and wild We sang when our hearts had been defiled Yeah, we sang and we cried and we sang We sang when our country went to war We stood in the streets and we sang, what for? 'Cause the saddest song I've ever heard sung Was when a mother buried her son We are something more than callous machines We're surely, surely something more We're quarter tones and dreams Maybe we sing to calm the din and let the human in We sang at the start and we'll sing at the end And we'll sing at every stage between We sang at the start and we'll sing at the end And we'll sing at every stage between
