《The Fight to Be Human》歌词

[00:00:00] The Fight To Be Human - Justin Currie

[00:00:12] I'm not a master of what I survey

[00:00:20] To death and disaster I am a slave

[00:00:28] But I am the author of the words that I say

[00:00:36] But why do I bother;

[00:00:40] It's all trash anyway

[00:00:44] I try to be truthful- or I think that I try

[00:00:52] I may not be useful but at least I'm alive

[00:01:00] And millions of letters spill into the hive

[00:01:08] And all of them worthless

[00:01:12] Except for this line:

[00:01:17] I hate the world they gave me

[00:01:21] I hate the world they gave me

[00:01:26] I stand on a mountain of pitiful prose

[00:01:34] My mind is a fountain that pointlessly flows

[00:01:42] They give you a trophy

[00:01:46] If you make the kids scream

[00:01:50] But it's such a joke to me;

[00:01:54] How insipid I've been

[00:01:59] I hate the world they gave me

[00:02:03] I hate the world they gave me

[00:02:08] I dig into my past now;

[00:02:12] I dig into my wrist

[00:02:16] To recapture the last time I felt the knife twist

[00:02:24] And I kick at the shackles

[00:02:28] And I heave at the chains

[00:02:32] But I am the governor Of my empty domain

[00:02:41] I hate the world they gave me

[00:02:45] I hate the world they gave me

[00:02:50] And dead and diseased they prey on my mind

[00:02:58] And after they leave me

[00:03:02] I drink til I'm blind

[00:03:06] I once had a refuge in music and wine

[00:03:14] But now I am deaf to

[00:03:18] The word on the line

[00:03:22] I cling to my records I cling to my fates

[00:03:30] That fool in the mirror has taken my place

[00:03:38] And the funniest funerals;

[00:03:42] The saddest of births

[00:03:46] Are all an excuse to indulge in my thirst

[00:03:55] I hate the world they gave me

[00:03:59] I hate the world they gave me

[00:04:04] My body's a riot; my mind's the police

[00:04:12] I feed myself lies to enforce some peace

[00:04:20] Tell people I love them;

[00:04:24] Shake idiot's hands

[00:04:28] And sometimes I hug them as custom demands

[00:04:36] I used to believe in the goodness of man

[00:04:44] But not anymore since I became one of them

[00:04:52] So I hoodwinked my woman and bought her a ring

[00:05:00] But like the fight to be human

[00:05:04] It don't mean anything

[00:05:08] Like the fight to be human

[00:05:12] It don't mean anything

[00:05:15] MUSIC

[00:05:34] Girls gather around me and pick at my seams

[00:05:42] Like death in the family docking my dreams

[00:05:50] And I'm fitting to watch them infinite plays

[00:05:58] I wish I had done something good for the race

[00:06:06] Poisonous postings singing songs in the streets

[00:06:14] The government's boasting of catching the cheats

[00:06:22] I cringe into my collar and drink into my shoes

[00:06:30] As cheerleaders holler which color I use

[00:06:38] I step up to the plate yeah with a match for a bat

[00:06:46] And strike at a lightning set fire to my hair

[00:06:54] And I won't be dragooned by the whitest and worst

[00:07:02] In a shoot for the moon and shoot myself first

[00:07:10] And the harder it gets now the softer I sing

[00:07:18] Cause the fight to be human don't mean anything

[00:07:26] Yeah the fight to be human;

[00:07:30] It don't mean anything
