Human Being

You got a right
You got a right
You got a right
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You got a right to scream when they don't want you to speak
You got a right to be what you want and where you wanna be
You've got a right to believe, to breathe
You got a right
You're a human being
You got your own voice so sing
You got two hands, let's go and make anything
We all got rules, we all have to break
We all have to make those mistakes
When I say I know the way, I'm only trying
No, don't nobody know where the road to life is really lying
See the people on TV, get shot in their very own street
People just like you, people just like me
Can't you see you got your hand on the advantages
You could stand to manage your damages
You, my dear, are a force to feed, not to fear
You got a right to anywhere, anything
You got a right, you got a right
You're a human being
You got a right to anywhere, anything
You got a right, you got a right
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
Got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, you're a human being
