Human Nature

HUMAN NATURE - Written by Carroll Bryant

When I was just a little boy I would lay on my back

And look up at the sky

I would think about Earth

I would think about time

I would watch every cloud that would go passing by

I would think about love

I would think about space

I would think about the future of the human race

Why they choose to be mean or why they choose to hate

Then I started wondering if there would come a day

When maybe they would change

I cannot see it happening

After all these years gone by

Maybe it's just the human of our nature

To make each other cry

So it became I became a man only to become

A man in the machine of war

I tried to become everyone's friend

As I sailed the waters from shore to shore

I only wanted some fun under the noonday sun

And every cute girl my eyes would ever meet

True love was never there when I thought it everywhere

People were gonna be what they wanted to be

Some were mean and bent on never changing

When I thought that maybe people would change

I cannot see it happening

As hard as I would like to try

Maybe it's just the human of our nature

To watch everybody die

You can live your life for a hundred years

From beginning to end, a million tears

The saddest thing remains the same

People will never change

When I look around now and see what I see

On the internet and the news on TV

People, politicians, and our government men

Repeating the past over and over again

Marching down a road with an urge for a thrill

While setting them up for the final kill

Nothing else to do than inflict that pain

Defending their actions like the true inane

Then I have to wonder why they use a fake name

Evolution is no solution when I wonder 

If it's ever gonna change

I cannot see it happening

I can't see a reason why

Maybe it's just the human of our nature

To make each other cry

I cannot see it happening

After all these years gone by

Maybe it's just the human of our nature

To watch everybody die
