They're Only Human

[RYUK]
(sighs)
Look at how they crawl around
Upon the ground
Like little ants.

[REM]
Yes, but how they fascinate
Confusing fate
With what is merely chance.

[RYUK]
Isn't it a laugh.

[REM]
Isn't it a shame.

[RYUK]
Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame.

[REM]
Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead
They hope for the lives that they need.

[RYUK]
Living every day till the day they die
Never getting answers.

[REM]
Yet still asking why
Going through the motions as if there will be a reward.

[RYUK]
While we stay eternally bored!

[BOTH]
They're only human
They don't see
Who they are is who they'll always be
Only human, after all.

[RYUK]
So they push and they shove.

[REM]
With this thing they call love.

[BOTH]
Till they fall!

[RYUK]
Isn't it a farce?

[REM]
Isn't it a waste?

[RYUK]
Struggling to face what can never be faced.

[REM]
Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share.

[RYUK]
I really don't know and don't care.

[BOTH]
They're only human
Standing still
Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill
Only human, after all.

[RYUK]
So they give and they take.

[REM]
Hoping someone will help break their fall

[RYUK]
They will pray, curse, live die
Never knowing their truth is another man's lie.

[REM]
Eat, sleep, love, hate
Like a leaf blowing in the wind.

[RYUK]
Watch them all vacillate.

[BOTH]
They're only human
They can't see.

[RYUK]
All the years they could give you and me.

[BOTH]
Only human, after all.

[REM]
So they give and we take.

[RYUK]
Till their silly hearts break.

[REM]
Looking down from above
I'm intrigued by their love.

[RYUK]
So let's call!
(spoken:) Hmmm, let's call.
