Human

Standing in a line
Take a look at them
Broken wasted boys
Travelled too far too fast
Through Rock 'n Roll Friends gather round
With concern in their eyes
Pair of high powered glasses
At their side

Chorus
(They want to see him sing)
I'm only human you know
Anyway possible
I've got to let it show I'm only human you know
Anyway possible
I've got to let it show
Let it grow

Strapped in a cushioned cinema seat
His headset wound to ten
He noticed the house lights go down
As the story of his life began

The music was a Muddy Water's song
A blues called "still a fool"
It's powerful beauty sets the mood
On the screen a naked man on a stool

In hazy confused pastel light
In a clear white room
This lonely figure with his head in his hands
Slowly moved to the beat of the tune
(You could hear him sing)

Chorus
Are we not scavengers on a waste land
Where the code is hide your greed
And somewhere you're in there this strange reality
You'd leave a friend to bleed Me too I'm just fucking around
Playing parts from books and plays
You should have seen me
I had to stand
I had to tell a magistrate

Chorus
