when did we become yesterday's people
stuck in the moment of living the past
not learning from mistakes once made
with results being the same as the same ones they had

bring up the past being yesterday's people
quick to forget the cards that are dealt
all we can see is through knotted peep holes
which takes us too long to figure it out

the future resides with yesterday's people
with a monkey see monkey do attitude
coming out in the wash what was poured from the detail
yesterday's people it's all we know how to do
