[Verse 1]
Well, it's a low down kinda condition
Been runnin' 'round my brain
Says it may drive me insane

[Verse 2]
And every organism
That I can hear and see
Seems to have the blues with me

[Bridge]
So I went to the doctor
Sat down on her bed
Looked up right at her
This is what she said

[Chorus]
"You're in a human condition
That's what's got you down
Human condition
Your face is full of frown
You've got to stand your ground"

[Verse 3]
"Well, you're sad, weak and weary"
She went on to say
"Nothing seems to go your way"
[Verse 4]
"And though you've tried and tried
You can't be satisfied
No one seems to treat you right"

[Bridge]
"But there's one thing for certain
That you ought to know
There's been lots of people
In that scene before"

[Chorus]
"You're in a human condition
That's what's got you down
Human condition
Your face is full of frown
You've got to stand your ground"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Well, I stood up, and I left her
And slowly walked away
Lookin' for a brighter day

[Verse 6]
And as I thought about it
A new thought came to me
Maybe we cannot be free
[Bridge]
Well, a whole lot of bad things
The world might throw at you
Stand up straight and strong
It's the only thing to do

[Chorus]
You're in a human condition
That's what's got you down
Human condition
Your face is full of frown
Got to stand your ground
