Now you can't even get to first base
& you feel like the tide has turned against you
Welcome to the human race
So you feel like the gods are out to get you
You feel like you've fallen from grace
& you'd run again if they'd only let you
Welcome to the human race
Welcome to the human race

So your prophets of finance have fallen
On their collective proverbial face
And you hear muffled voices callin
Welcome to the human race
You made a killin dealin real estate at NASA
Sellin cemetery plots in outer space
Til some fallin coffins crashed upon your doorstep
Welcome to the human race
Welcome to the human race
Open up your heart...

So you sold your ocean home ain't that a pity
And your mermaids disappeared without a trace
Now you comb the streets of sandcastle city
Welcome to the human race
Now sometimes the truth is hard to handle
But lately it's much easier to face
We'll just write it off as just another scandal
Welcome to the human race
Welcome to the human race
Welcome to the human race
Open up your heart
