Some Humans Ain't Human - John Prine

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 wanna go there

Some humans ain’t human

Though they walk like we do

They live and they breathe

Just to turn your 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

You 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

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
