David Kushner - Humankind

I met the devil Sunday mornin' with his hands in the air
He blew his paycheck on the plate that they were passin'
He's testifyin' in the light, but he was heartless in prayer
He had the spirit and expensive taste in fashion

I'm the one that you came and slaughtered
You spin me around
I was lookin' for livin' water
You just let me drown

I put my faith in a sinner's town
Land of the free chained to the ground
When I look for kindness now
Humankind just lets me down

Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, my heaven's cussing me out
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Humankind just lets me down

They lost the message in a bottle, now it's covered in blood
They sell a savin' just to make a great commission
We love the ones who hurt us, and we hurt the ones that we love
We're sacrificin' one another for tradition

I'm the one that you came and slaughtered
You spin me around
I was lookin' for livin' water
You just let me drown

I put my faith in a sinner's town
Land of the free chained to the ground
When I look for kindness now
Humankind just lets me down

Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, my heaven's cussing me out
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Humankind just lets me down

When it's all said and done
I'm just a man, you're just a woman
So take my hand
I'm only human
I need you to take me

Home

Home
Humankind just lets me down
