This Human Equation Letra

Although they don't look it

Yes, they can be charming
Uniquely disarming
Naive but enchanting
On a good day they're gracious
Well-mannered, endearing
Yes, dare I say
Nice!

They seem so contented
Yet inside so damn sad
They pretend to be decent
Then turn out to be bad

They claim to be honest
But really they're liars
They try to be modest
But often they're cocky, conceited
Pretentious, obnoxious, and vain

This human equation
Is driving us crazy
This human equation

This human equation
Success and frustration
Wealth and starvation
Moral stagnation
This human equation
Evolved or creation?
The one explanation:
Universal migration!

They plan, they scheme
They're not what they seem
They hide
Behind their disguise
They're loud, they brag
They shout and they nag
But man what a drive
They're on fire
See them thrive
They're alive!

This human equation
Is driving us crazy
This human equation

And yet they amuse us
Just because they confuse us
For their logic eludes us
But their passion consumes us

You'd think they are crazy
I'd almost say stupid
But then they amaze you
Although they don't look it
They seem so contented
Yet inside so damn sad
They pretend to be decent
Then turn out to be bad

And yet they amuse us
Just because they confuse us
For their logic eludes us
But their passion consumes us
Yet they can be charming
Uniquely disarming
Naive but enchanting
On a good day they're gracious
Well-mannered, endearing
Yes, dare I say
Nice!
