[Verse 1] [spoken, deadpan] Hi. It's me. Well, you. Forty thousand years ago, give or take. I saw your screen. Nice glow. We had one too. It was called a fire. [Verse 2] We stared at it for hours and thought about the dark and about the people we couldn't stand to lose [Pre-Chorus] You think you're modern You think you've changed I watched you reach out in your sleep For the same hand I reached for [Chorus] Forty thousand years And the same hands, the same fear We painted on the wall, you paint on the glass But the loneliness, that didn't pass Forty thousand years And we're still here [Bridge] [quiet] So call someone. Put the machine down for a minute. That's the whole message. That's all I've got. [Final Chorus] [full band, crowd vocals] Forty thousand years And the same hands, the same fear We painted on the wall, you paint on the glass But nobody ever made it alone Forty thousand years We're still here We're still here
