lyrics

WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING

WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING
YOU GOTTA LEARN SO MUCH.
WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING
IT’S ALWAYS LOOK DON’T TOUCH.
AND WHEN YOU’RE FEELING DIRTY
YOU GOTTA KEEP IT CLEAN,
WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING.

WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING
YOU GOTTA KEEP YOUR COOL.
WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING
LIFE IS JUST ONE BIG RULE.
YOU CAN’T SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO,
YOU CAN’T SAY WHAT YOU MEAN,
WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING.

MAN CRAWLED OUT OF THE JUNGLE,
PUT ON A JACKET AND TIE,
STARTED CIVILIZATION.
SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY.

WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING
YOU GIVE UP ALL CONTROL
WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING
YOU GOTTA SELL YOUR SOUL
YOU’RE JUST A LIVING CREATURE,
THEY TRY TO MAKE YOU A MACHINE,
WHEN YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING.
