Joe Jackson - The Human Touch lyrics

rate me

Some say the world is spinning faster

Some say it isn't fast enough

Some people say they've got the answer

and some are scared to say they can't keep up

I read the paper but it still isn't clear

The bombs are falling but I'm still here

I know all the figures and I know all the facts

But all I can do is keep trying . . . .

To look for the Human Touch

Life is hard when you've got nothing

Life can be hard when you've got too much

Sometimes I wonder what's the difference

It's only better with someone to touch

I got the telephone stuck to my ear

I keep yelling but you don't hear

In all the universe I'm just a speck of dust

But all I can do is keep trying . . . .

To give you the Human Touch

You know we're nothing in the scheme of things

Just microchips in big machines

And the world is spinning round and round

but I know that we can slow it down

And I know that I can make you see

I'm on the side of you and me

and all I want to do

listen to me . . .

Is give you . . . give you

Give you the Human Touch
