When Horsepower Meant What It Said

Why am I standing still?
How hard the path is trodden
But I can't put my foot down and jump the fences in the field

How easily we're led

'Cause they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs
To the horses on the hill
Maybe we should take a walk and talk
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
And how easily forgotten

How hard the path is trodden
How easily we're led
And how easily forgotten
From when horsepower meant what it said
Because they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs

So if we're keeping up with progress
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
How easily forgotten

I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
From when horsepower meant what it said
From when horsepower meant what it said
How hard the path is trodden
