Some humans ain't human
Discuss


Some people ain't kind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don't want to go there

5. Thank you. I do try.
What did the unkind person do? Or would you rather not say?

Sometimes, when I am in a VERY generous mood, I try to think of what could have inspired a person to act so unthinkingly selfishly.

I wonder if their cat died or their car got repossessed and so they are temporarily incapable of feeling for anyone but themselves.

Other times I just cuss about what an ass they are and how their father smelt of elderberries. :-)

6. Another verse (or two) from that song:
Have you ever noticed
When you're feeling really good
There's always a pigeon
That'll come shit on your hood


Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

Lyrics for Song: Some Humans Ain't Human
Lyrics for Album: Fair and Square
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don't want to go there

Some humans ain't human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you're sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

You might go to church
And sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain't human
Could be sittin' right next to you
They talk about your family
They talk about your clothes
When they don't know their own ass
From their own elbows

Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

Have you ever noticed
When you're feeling really good
There's always a pigeon
That'll come shit on your hood

Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

11. Nice. Thank you.
Is Ptah the one that guides dead spirits to the afterworld?

15. I can't believe I was the first to ask!!
I actually bought a Ptah at the King Tut exhibit I went to when I was in grade school. My mom probably gave me $5 to buy a souvenir. but when I got to the gift shop part of the exhibit, I don't think I could find whichever god I really wanted (I can't even remember who it would have been now -- possibly Isis or Anubis).

In any case, I bought a Ptah instead because was cool looking and all my friends wouldn't have the same one. I didn't remember what he stood for, but being the craftsman is cool. I think the little 5 inch, tuquoise-colored statue is still on a shelf at my mom's house.

17. I don't know much about down loading it, but if
If I had an e-mail to attach it to . . .
I'd be glad to send it along.

It's from John Prine's newest CD Fair & Square.

3. Hmmm.... I think all humans are human.
But some have been beaten down more than others, and have forgotten their heart - and their humanity.

And where there's anger - there's more than likely a broken heart.

20. Great song
:thumbsup: I see you've already posted the most relevant lyrics elsewhere in this thread :)

I'm always happy to hear from John Prine, but that verse was especially welcome.

23. Then buy a gun. Come to my door. Knock on it. I will answer.
Point it at my face.

End my life.

Spare me the remaining natural years of the humiliation, pain, and utter loneliness I would otherwise go through. I'm sick of it.
