Humankind Lyrics by Ramones

Too Tough to Die

1984

[Verse 1]
Humankind, it's not fair, why should we all live in fear
Humankind, it's a test, to see who's the very best
Humankind, I don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see?

[Chorus]
People always telling lies, they can keep their alibis
People knocking at my door, how come they want more and more?
People talking behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac
People staring at your clothes, I can't take it anymore, no more!

[Verse 2]
Humankind, it's a shame, some don't even know their names
Humankind, are so strange, some need to be rearranged
Humankind, I don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see?

[Chorus]
People always telling lies, they can keep their alibis
People knocking at my door, how come they want more and more?
People talking behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac
People staring at your clothes, I can't take it anymore, no more!

[Verse 3]
Tell me, tell me, who's to blame, for people acting this way
Tell me, tell me, what's so wrong, if humankind just got along?
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is what we need

[Chorus]
People always telling lies, they can keep their alibis
People knocking at my door, how come they want more and more?
People talking behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac
People staring at your clothes, I can't take it anymore, no more!

[Outro]
People! Yeah!
People!
People! Yeah!
People!
