They're Only Human Lyrics

Ryuk, Rem

They're Only Human

[Ryuk]
Look at how they crawl around
Upon the ground
Like little ants

[Rem]
Yes, but how they fascinate
Confusing fate
With what is merely chance

[Ryuk]
Isn’t it a laugh?

[Rem]
Isn’t it a shame?

[Ryuk]
Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame

[Rem]
Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead
They hope for the lives that they need

[Ryuk]
Living every day ‘til the day they die
Never getting answers

[Rem]
Yet still asking why
Going through the motions as if there will be a reward

[Ryuk]
While we stay eternally bored!

[Both]
They’re only human
They don’t see
Who they are is who they’ll always be
Only human, after all

[Ryuk]
So they push and they shove

[Rem]
With this thing they call love

[Both]
‘Til they fall!

[Ryuk]
Isn’t it a farce?

[Rem]
Isn’t it a waste?

[Ryuk]
Struggling to face what can never be faced

[Rem]
Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share

[Ryuk]
I really don’t know and don’t care

[Both]
They’re only human
Standing still
Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill
Only human, after all

[Ryuk]
So they give and they take

[Rem]
Hoping someone will help break their fall

[Ryuk]
They will pray, curse, live, die
Never knowing their truth is another man’s lie

[Rem]
Eat, sleep, love, hate
Like a leaf blowing in the wind

[Ryuk]
Watch them all vacillate!

[Both]
They’re only human
They can’t see

[Ryuk]
All the years they could give you and me
Only human, after all

[Rem]
So they give and we take

[Ryuk]
‘Til their silly hearts break

[Rem]
Looking down from above
I’m intrigued by their love

[Ryuk]
So let’s call!
Hmmm, let’s call!
