Human, human
Where did your life go?
And how do you live and forget that you died?
Human, human;
You were not proud before
You did not used to talk so loud
Human, human;
You animal, just remember that
Human, human;
There are still songs at night
There are still sounds in the mines below
Let's get out of the romance
Human, human -
You will not, and I will never, be free
From the weight of our living
The load that our lungs have to lift
The armor we wear
Though we are weary, we fight
Human, human
But you were a baby too, we did not use to be so proud
Human, human
I know the world looks wide
So wherever you go, over and over, just keep saying:
"You win! You win!"
Don't destroy me, but go right through me
Take my home and my wife
Human, human
Your generous lungs billow warmth
