Lyrics
Human Race
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.
The TV’s on fire, they’re fightin’ a war
But Huntley and Brinkley don’t care anymore
And the population sits there and it snores
But if all the poor lost children in the world were at the door *
Could they sit there and pretend that they are blind
They’d have to get up and open the door and see the human race
They’ve always been there, there’s gonna be more of the human race
People have forgotten how to be people
The Pope has decided he’s closin’ the door
The Ecumenical Council don’t care anymore
And the population lays there and it soars
But if all the hungry children in the world cried at the door *
I wonder what they’d ask for when they pray
They’d have to get up and open the door and see the human race
They’ve always been there, there’s gonna be more of the human race
People have forgotten how to be people
The cool mornin’ sun shines as black as the night *
But the factory owners say the air is alright
While the population breathes the profits soar
But if all the future children in the world were at the door
I think the sight would take their breath away
They’d have to get up and open the door and see the human race
They’ve always been there, there’s gonna be more of the human race
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
People have forgotten how to be people
