lyrics

HUMANS
Its a long steel rail where many stories lie
And the roads hold the bones, and the tracks keep em tied
It’s a lonesome land, sometimes you don’t feel well
Make people cry, from the stories that you tell

We could travel this world from sea to shining sea
But it seems that it’s just human
to want what you can’t be.

It’s raining down while the west side is on fire
And a coastline sinks while walls are built higher
What kind of place would have such a scene?
Where the call to action is just to watch it on their screens

We could travel this world from sea to shining sea
But it seems that it’s just human
to want what you can’t be.

It’s a lonesome land, from our head it goes so deep
Yes, It’s just the cards we’re dealt Thrown out in front to sweep
There’s a king on that card, a real winner too
It’s all left to chance and the hand your family threw

We could travel this world from sea to shining sea
But it seems that it’s just human
to want what you can’t be.
