Shovels & Rope – The Human Race Lyrics
Artist: Shovels & Rope
Song: The Human Race
I’m burning up in side I can’t think clearly
Threatened us so nearly everything I love so dearly
Save the world a lot of grief could be that simple
Shall we just get it over with and take one to the temple
Nobody wins in the human race
A candy colored masquerade
What a bold mistake
Maybe I have had all I can take
I had a bad dream where all my teeth
Crumbled in my hand
I could explode on command
Dissolve right were I stand
In the darkest corners of my mind
I wanna feel the sunshine
Cut free the ties that bind
Figure out what I seek to find
Nobody wins in the human race
A candy colored masquerade
What a chance to take
Maybe I have had all I can take
You gotta go, it’s the price of admission
Just follow your intuition
Stick around till the party’s over
And fear not the serpents at your feet
Love everyone you meet
Before you’re six feet ‘neath the clover
And you will dig a dozen rows
And you’ll plant them in the spring
Count the days till your hands get tough
And try not to cry
For the in the by and by
sh#t and death turn to good dirt…
If you give it long enough
