David Kushner - Humankind lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met the devil Sunday mornin'
With his hands in the air
He blew his paycheck on the plate
That they were passin'

He's testifyin' in the light
But he was heartless in prayer
He had the spirit and expensive
Taste in fashion

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the one that you
Came and slaughtered
You spin me around
I was lookin' for livin' water
You just let me drown

[Chorus]
I put my faith in a sinner's town
Land of the free chained to the ground


When I look for kindness now
Humankind just lets me down

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, —o-o-oh! My heaven's cussing me out
Oh, —o-o-oh! Humankind just lets me down

[Verse 2]
They lost the message in a bottle
Now it's covered in blood
They sell a savin' just to make
A Great Commission

We love the ones who hurt us
Then we hurt the ones that we love
We're sacrificin' one another
For tradition

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the one that you
Came and slaughtered
You spin me around
I was lookin' for livin' water
You just let me drown

[Chorus]
I put my faith in a sinner's town
Land of the free chained to the ground
When I look for kindness now
Humankind just lets me do-o-own

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, —o-o-oh! My heaven's cussing me out
Oh, —o-o-oh! Humankind just lets me down

[Bridge]
When it's all said and done
I'm just a man, you're just a woman
So take my hand, I'm only human
I need you to take me

[Outro]
Ho-o-o-ome
Ho-o-o-ome
Ho-o-o-ome
Humankind just lets me down
