Humankind Lyrics

(Verse I)
Humankind, it's not fair, why should we all live in fear
Humankind, it's a test, to see who's the very best
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see

(chorus)
People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE

(Verse II)
Humankind, it's a shame, some don't even know their name
Humankind are so strange, some need to be rearranged
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see

BEG. The humankind (3 x) during intro part

(MIDDLE)
Tell me, tell me, who's to blame, for people acting this way
Tell me, tell me, what's so wrong, if humans just got along
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is what we need - (oh)

1st chorus - 2 lines into "why oh why" humankind

Cover art for Humankind lyrics by Ramones

It's a critic to society in general... and they were in the cold war, so "why should all we live in fear", "tell me tell me what's so wrong, if humans just got along", it refers to the constant fear of EE.UU. and Russia blowing everything fucking away.
