Faces in Cabs

[Verse 1]
Hypothetical mortal beings
Known only to themselves and God
Come and go and play the cameo
They're just faces in cabs, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
All the hearts that are gonna break today
All the lovers that won't come home tonight
Nobody feels their dynamite
They're just faces in cabs, oh yeah

[Chorus]
They're just faces in the cabs (so I've been told)
Just faces in the cabs (the masses out there)
Just faces in cabs (anonymous souls)
Oh yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Somebody cries the tears of tragedy
Somebody cries the tears of joy today
Nobody knows exactly what to say
About the faces in cabs, oh yeah

[Verse 4]
Ten million in freshly dug graves
Ten thousand who will die by noon today
Four billion who will follow soon
They're just faces in cabs, oh yeah

[Chorus]
They're just faces in the cabs (so I've been told)
Just faces in the cabs (the masses out there)
Just faces in cabs (anonymous souls)
Oh yeah, yeah

[Verse 5]
All the heathen in Africa
All the heathen in West L.A. today
All of raging humanity
Is just faces in cabs, oh yeah

[Chorus]
They're just faces in the cabs (so I've been told)
Just faces in the cabs (the masses out there)
Just faces in cabs (anonymous souls)
Oh yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
They're just faces in the cabs (so I've been told)
Just faces in the cabs (the masses out there)
They're just faces in cabs (anonymous souls)
Oh yeah, yeah
