I don’t wanna hear about it anymore
I keep tellin’ you I got enough, you keep tryin’ to give me more
Lessons on new ways of takin’ it on the chin
You’re workin’ on my very last nerve, my very last nerve’s wearin’ thin
But I am only human, not a proxy in this war
I am only human, born to live, cry and die
And find out what a human is for
All the people that I know are underneath a load
In cubicle situations or strung out along the road
Trading the viewpoint of the eagle where they could see it all
For the perspective of a keyhole in a lavatory stall
But I am only human, not a proxy in this war
I am only human, born to live, cry and die
And find out what a human is for
Now the gears are bearing down as the walls begin to shake
The whole structure is collapsing as the earth begins to quake
The ceiling falls away that had obscured the sky
The people step out from the darkness, they begin to cry –
But I am only human, not a proxy in this war
I am only human, born to live, cry and die
And find out what a human is for
