Rehumanize Yourself Lyrics
He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
Kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanize yourself
A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanize yourself
Billy's joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You've got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanize yourself
A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
{fade}
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
None of his friends know right from wrong
Kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanize yourself
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanize yourself
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You've got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanize yourself
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself
Rehumanize yourself

By contrast [to “Secret Journey”], “Rehumanize Yourself,” after resisting the urge to break into an up-tempo version of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson” in a variety of keys, grafted alienated-by-technology-and-violence characters onto Koestler’s notion that “society is gradually dehumanizing itself.”
[From Rock & Holy Rollers: The Spiritual Beliefs of Chart-Topping Rock Stars in Their Lives and Lyrics by Geoffrey D. Falk.]
Oh silly me. In the midst of all this Stu bestows 'Rehumanize Yourself' upon us - a fast, lightweight, funny popster along the lines of 'Bombs Away', a perfect breather in between the more 'experimental' stuff, too bad it gets lost so often. Might just be the greatest song the Police ever put out. [George Starostin]
First verse reminds me of A Clockwork Orange
