The Fight To Be Human - Justin Currie[00:00:00]
I'm not a master of what I survey[00:00:12]
To death and disaster I am a slave[00:00:20]
But I am the author of the words that I say[00:00:28]
But why do I bother;[00:00:36]
It's all trash anyway [00:00:40]
I try to be truthful- or I think that I try[00:00:44]
I may not be useful but at least I'm alive [00:00:52]
And millions of letters spill into the hive[00:01:00]
And all of them worthless[00:01:08]
Except for this line:[00:01:12]
I hate the world they gave me [00:01:17]
I hate the world they gave me[00:01:21]
I stand on a mountain of pitiful prose[00:01:26]
My mind is a fountain that pointlessly flows[00:01:34]
They give you a trophy[00:01:42]
If you make the kids scream[00:01:46]
But it's such a joke to me;[00:01:50]
How insipid I've been [00:01:54]
I hate the world they gave me [00:01:59]
I hate the world they gave me[00:02:03]
I dig into my past now;[00:02:08]
I dig into my wrist[00:02:12]
To recapture the last time I felt the knife twist[00:02:16]
And I kick at the shackles [00:02:24]
And I heave at the chains[00:02:28]
But I am the governor Of my empty domain[00:02:32]
I hate the world they gave me[00:02:41]
I hate the world they gave me[00:02:45]
And dead and diseased they prey on my mind[00:02:50]
And after they leave me [00:02:58]
I drink til I'm blind[00:03:02]
I once had a refuge in music and wine[00:03:06]
But now I am deaf to[00:03:14]
The word on the line[00:03:18]
I cling to my records I cling to my fates[00:03:22]
That fool in the mirror has taken my place[00:03:30]
And the funniest funerals;[00:03:38]
The saddest of births[00:03:42]
Are all an excuse to indulge in my thirst [00:03:46]
I hate the world they gave me [00:03:55]
I hate the world they gave me[00:03:59]
My body's a riot; my mind's the police[00:04:04]
I feed myself lies to enforce some peace[00:04:12]
Tell people I love them;[00:04:20]
Shake idiot's hands[00:04:24]
And sometimes I hug them as custom demands[00:04:28]
I used to believe in the goodness of man[00:04:36]
But not anymore since I became one of them[00:04:44]
So I hoodwinked my woman and bought her a ring[00:04:52]
But like the fight to be human[00:05:00]
It don't mean anything [00:05:04]
Like the fight to be human [00:05:08]
It don't mean anything [00:05:12]
MUSIC [00:05:15]
Girls gather around me and pick at my seams[00:05:34]
Like death in the family docking my dreams[00:05:42]
And I'm fitting to watch them infinite plays[00:05:50]
I wish I had done something good for the race[00:05:58]
Poisonous postings singing songs in the streets[00:06:06]
The government's boasting of catching the cheats[00:06:14]
I cringe into my collar and drink into my shoes[00:06:22]
As cheerleaders holler which color I use[00:06:30]
I step up to the plate yeah with a match for a bat[00:06:38]
And strike at a lightning set fire to my hair[00:06:46]
And I won't be dragooned by the whitest and worst[00:06:54]
In a shoot for the moon and shoot myself first[00:07:02]
And the harder it gets now the softer I sing[00:07:10]
Cause the fight to be human don't mean anything[00:07:18]
Yeah the fight to be human;[00:07:26]
It don't mean anything[00:07:30]
