We Forgot We Were Human Reprise Dirt Poor Robins

When the war is over we'll be better than we were
And they'll hail you as we sail into the future
Our path at last no longer undermined by the frontline

Come by the land
Come by the sea
Come see the sights
Our light a buzzing beacon in the night

Your new desires are humming through our wires
And they are spreading like wildfire

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 were human
(What do we need with the sun?)
We forgot we forgot we forgot
(What do we need with the sun?)
