Joe Jackson
The Human Touch
[Verse 1]
Some say the world is spinning faster
Some say it isn't fast enough
Some people say they've got the answer
And some are scared to say they can't keep up

[Pre-Chorus]
I read the paper but it still isn't clear
The bombs are falling but I'm still here
I know all the figures and I know all the facts
But all I can do is keep trying...

[Chorus]
To look for the human touch
To look for the human touch

[Verse 2]
Life is hard when you've got nothing
Life can be hard when you've got too much
Sometimes I wonder what's the difference
It's only better with someone to touch

[Pre-Chorus]
I got the telephone stuck to my ear
I keep yelling but you don't hear
In all the universe I'm just a speck of dust
But all I can do is keep trying...
[Chorus]
To give you the human touch
To give you the human touch

[Bridge]
You know we're nothing in the scheme of things
Just microchips in big machines
And the world is spinning round and round
But I know that we can slow it down
And I know that I can make you see
I'm on the side of you and me
And all I wanna do
Listen to me... (All I wanna do, all I wanna do)
Is give you... (Give you)
Give you (Give you)
Give you

[Chorus]
Give you the human touch
Give you the human touch
To give you the human touch
To give you the human touch
