Do You Know a Human Being When You See One? Lyrics by Alabaster dePlume

GOLD – Go Forward in the Courage of Your Love

2022

You know who you are
You where you belong
You know when you see a good reason
You know when you don't see none
Do you know a human being when you see one?
Ba, ba, bum
Ba, ba, bum
Yes, there's [?] on the street somewhere
The big, bad machine
There was a body
Where's it gone?
Do you know a human being when you see one?
Ba, ba, bum
Ba, ba, bum
Ba, ba, bum
You know what you grew up knowing
You know where you're coming from
You know what you feel like doing
When you feel like someone's wrong
Do you know a human being when you see one?
Ba, ba, bum
Ba, ba, bum
Ba, ba, bum
Could you mistake them for something else?
Something less
Something not bad but not as good
Something human, but not human, like levels of human
Levels of human
Levels of human
Levels
It happens, you know
It happens, you know
And you don't have to be [?]
I've done it
I've done it
I've looked at someone and said
Not with my voice, not with my heart but somewhere dark, dark in the back of my head
I've looked at someone and I've said:
"You don't
You don't
You don't
You don't count
[?]"
[?]
But it is not my voice and I'm not a monster
Yet
I'm not a monster yet
I'm not a monster yet
I'm not a monster yet
I mean, I don't think so
But you tell me
I believe
I believe
I believe you know
I believe you know
I believe you know a human being when you see one
