Don’t Tell Me That (Human Nature) Lyrics by Kris Drever

If Wishes Were Horses

2016

[Verse 1]
Talk it through twice
Resolution not likely
I hear what you're saying
But I disagree
We come from the same town
We know some of the same people
The things that you're saying
Seem benighted to me
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that because of dumb luck
You can't see the flipside, you don't understand
Don't tell me that it's just human nature
To grasp and keep grasping
This rapacity is right out of hand
[Verse 2]
Walk tall, talk straight
Shoot from the hip
Show no one fear
As you shimmy the limb
If the lifeboats are rotten
And so is the ship
You better slip your wings on
You better learn how to swim
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that because of dumb luck
You can't see the flipside, you don't understand
Don't tell me that it's just human nature
To grasp and keep grasping
This rapacity is right out of hand
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that because of dumb luck
You can't see the flipside, you don't understand
Don't tell me that it's just human nature
To grasp and keep grasping
This rapacity is right out of hand
