Lyrics
They're Only Human
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look at how they crawl around
Upon the ground
Like little ants
Yes, but how they fascinate
Confusing fate
With what is merely chance
Isn’t it a laugh?
Isn’t it a shame?
Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame
Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead
They hope for the lives that they need
Living every day ‘til the day they die
Never getting answers
Yet still asking why
Going through the motions as if there will be a reward
While we stay eternally bored!
They’re only human
They don’t see
Who they are is who they’ll always be
Only human, after all
So they push and they shove
With this thing they call love ‘til they fall!
Isn’t it a farce?
Isn’t it a waste?
Struggling to face what can never be faced
Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share
I really don’t know and don’t care
They’re only human
Standing still
Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill
Only human, after all
So they give and they take
Hoping someone will help break their fall
They will pray, curse, live die
Never knowing their truth is another man’s lie
Eat, sleep, love, hate
Like a leaf blowing in the wind
Watch them all vacillate!
They’re only human
They can’t see
All the years they could give you and me
Only human, after all
So they give and we take ‘til their silly hearts break
Looking down from above I’m intrigued by their love
So let’s call!
Hmmm, let’s call
