Human Beings

Stagecoach robbery, highway crime
Masked man with a flintlock, but the coach ain't on time
Redskin warrior, Indian Man
Bows and arrows, but the paleface got their land

Sharp suited man, cadillac he drive
Getting harder every minute, with that woman on his arm
Coal black miner, working in the hole
Such a long time down there he feels like a mole

Beneath the wave are divers, fishing for pearls
Above and around them, the mighty ocean swirls
Government official, with a briefcase full of facts
Got a head full of spreadsheets, and income tax

Man in a restuarant, woman in the street
Girl on a bicycle, boy caught in the heat
Queen and courtiers, jester for a King
Each to their own, and their own thing

WE'VE BEEN ON THE MOUNTAIN
WE'VE BEEN IN THE HALL
WE'VE BEEN IN MANY TIMES
MANY PORTS OF CALL
WE'VE BEEN IN THE SKIES
WE'VE BEEN IN THE WARS
WE'VE BEEN SO ALONE
WE'VE FORGOTTEN WE ARE ALL

HUMAN BEINGS
