Grandma's a corpse with a heartbeat
The smile in my mind doesn't reach her cheeks, oh
But we can't do what we can do
The burden of rescue
For we are human, oh
We are human... oooh
(We are) Human, last time I checked it means we
Hedge our bets; cuz money equals respect
Emotional bandwidth drained by each paycheck,
Empty initiatives set by each new exec,
Sweet talking lies, but your words are missing in action
Got lofty ideas yet all you do is make factions
Spouting new convictions from a desk that leans
Got a go-green diet but you like your sleeves clean
To see is to believe so you divert your eyes
Frightened by dismissal from professional ties
Feeding our loved ones chemical lies, leaving a
Trail of disaster, don't act surprised.
Grandma's a corpse with a heartbeat
The smile in my mind doesn't reach her cheeks, oh
But we can't do what we can do
The burden of rescue
For we are human, oh
We are human... oooh
I'm disenchanted with policies, keep on shutting us down
With only numbers to speak for each life on the ground
Your pockets line with profits while the lesser drown
Gold-plated formalities being tossed around
Blind to the world, disease of prestigious vision
You got your capital letters but lost sight of the mission
Capable of love, but fiscally driven
Exploiting the world with scholarly precision,
Pretend you want the truth but do you care what I'm saying?
Your hearing is astute but your morals are fraying so
Why am I the one who feels like a monster
When I'm the only person willing to admit that I falter?
Grandma's a corpse with a heartbeat
The smile in my mind doesn't reach her cheeks, oh
But we can't do what we can do
The burden of rescue
For we are human, oh
We are human... oooh
Don't let this world turn you cold, the guilt will find you
When the time comes you will know
We are all responsible. mmm
We are all responsible
Grandma's a corpse with a heartbeat
The smile in my mind doesn't reach her cheeks, oh
But we can't do what we can do
The burden of rescue
For we are human, oh
We are human... oooh
The smile in my mind doesn't reach her cheeks, oh
But we can't do what we can do
The burden of rescue
For we are human, oh
We are human... oooh
(We are) Human, last time I checked it means we
Hedge our bets; cuz money equals respect
Emotional bandwidth drained by each paycheck,
Empty initiatives set by each new exec,
Sweet talking lies, but your words are missing in action
Got lofty ideas yet all you do is make factions
Spouting new convictions from a desk that leans
Got a go-green diet but you like your sleeves clean
To see is to believe so you divert your eyes
Frightened by dismissal from professional ties
Feeding our loved ones chemical lies, leaving a
Trail of disaster, don't act surprised.
Grandma's a corpse with a heartbeat
The smile in my mind doesn't reach her cheeks, oh
