The Human Stain lyrics

(See the cemetery sky

Carmine red and deep

Watch the oceans rising high

Its the human stain)

Talk about the growing hunger

Ask why with deep concern

Dont you think

the human race is ceaselessly vain

But it hurts to be alive, my friend

In this silent tide we're driftwood passing by

Dont you wish you were a child again

Just for a minute

just for a minute more

Hear the ticking of a clock

The sound of life itself

No one really wants to die

To save the world

Tell me that you're torn asunder

From how we fail to learn

And tell me

as the earth goes under

Wheres your anger now

So it hurts to be alive, my friend

In this masquerade where all one day must die

Dont you wish you were unborn again

Just for a minute

just for a minute more

Tic toc

The ticking that could tear asunder

The beating from a heart of stone

The lust of your divine prosperity

'Cause it costs to be alive, my friend

And this life that someone merely gave to you

That's the price you pay

Minute by minute

You beg for a minute more
