Lover of the 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.
We build it all, soon we're scaling the wall together
Hard hearts, simple minds, no thought of what
We're leaving behind forever more
Oh well, I never really knew my place
I was a nuclear waste of space
Now I'm a lover of the human race
Flat broke, empty house, ice cold, hand to mouth we're getting
Cracked up, gone to seed, blindly following politician's lead
Oh well, I never really knew my place
I was a nuclear waste of space
Now I'm a lover of the human race
We need something more, always something more
Still we know for sure show is nearly over now
Party's gonna come to an end
Wishbone walking cane, black shades, looking to throw it all away
Such well-meaning plans, hot hands messing around with DNA
Oh well, I never really knew my place
I was a nuclear waste of space
Now I'm a lover of the human race
A lover of the human race
A lover of the human race
We need something more, always something more
Still we know for sure show is nearly over now
Party's gonna come to an end
We need something more, always something more
Still we know for sure show is nearly over now
Party's gonna come to an end
