Stay Human 05:17
Bug-eyed Seventeen and you're ancient Here is your replacement You're insignificant now And you say that you've never felt so done for Can't take a stalemate no more So I leave the bathroom with you I wish I could be comforting like those creepy kids in American Movies I wish I could be comforting but all I'll ever tell you is Stay human Stay human Stay human Stay Look sharp Here comes another creature Something from the future Well honey you're insignificant now And watch it You're too sharp You're fucking wasted Got the cure and laced it With an old friends cry As you say "I'm not drunk no I just see things differently to the way I did When I started this... When I started this" You tell me "I'm not drunk oh no I just see things Differently to the way I did" And it always ends with you It always ends with you It always ends with you It always it always But I know That you'd only laugh cos Stay human Is my epitaph and I'll preach it To anyone who cares to listen And if you should feel blind and weightless Don't be scared I got this I promise you

Well I was out in the Holy Land Dealing with Arabs and Kings Oh I was sipping the silence In between the scimitar swings The blond locks of the desert Ancient relics of you And your Aryan ideals In between the red and the blue And I know when I left I made a pact But since when did you dress Exclusively in black And here come the drums With their confetti hand grenades Here come the drums Yeah they tell me that I'll be made And it's just common sense Ain't nothing if not a daunting distance In the city of God In the city of God Well I fought with a rifle and murdered But a good soldier ought But now people walk by me With coffee cups and liberal thoughts The blond locks of the desert Only remind me of you And the sight of you waving From in between the petrol fumes But here come the drums With their throats hoarse as animals Here come the drums And we're all fucking cannibals Here come the drums Yeah they tell me I'll be known hence Here come the drums Well they tell me it's common sense And time's just a pretence Ain't nothing if not a daunting distance Where I went wrong This is where I went wrong "Come and see the blood in the streets. Come and see The blood in the streets. Come and see the blood In the streets!"
