| It’s only human to despise the weak |
| It’s only human to despise yourself when you’re weak |
| I don’t know why |
| But that’s the way that it’s always been |
| And I play by the rules I don’t understand at all |
| It’s only human to be lazy and vain |
| It’s only human to expect a world that’s just as vain |
| Oh, I don’t know why |
| I want to believe that it’s not that way |
| But I’m johnny-come-lately, it’s not my place to say |
| There’s no escape, tell me why do they try so hard? |
| And I pretend that I’m invincible |
| That I can go it all alone |
| But I’m only human, trying to get by |
| And praying to heaven I might find out |
| Why am I human, mere flesh and blood |
| Afraid to go on without someone to hold me up |
| It’s just a human thing to fear the unknown |
| But isn’t it a tragic thing to live and die alone |
| Oh lord look at the world |
| Have you ever seen so much misery? |
| Like a ghost ship of fools, lost and floating out to sea |
| There’s no escape, tell me why do they try so hard? |
| And they climb and they fall |
| Yet they struggle on the same fault |
| But they’re only human, trying to get by |
| And praying to heaven they might find out |
| Why are we human, mere flesh and blood |
| We’re afraid to go on without someone to hold us up |
| Human, try to get by |
| And praying to heaven they might find out |
| Why am I human |
| Mere flesh and blood |
| Afraid to go on without someone to hold us up… |
