Humans Lyrics

Yeah everything say today is like you would have seen in a story
When you heard the sounds of a fluttering you know that you're in for some glory
When the sun sets and the clouds they dissipate
And the rain it goes away it goes away it goes away it goes away it goes

Wash over all of you, make you feel like you're brand new, yes
Lack of little temperature is a static above natural hue
So when it always feels like you're extra moist, more than you usually are, it's ok
You're warm at least, and the breeze that washes over you, and you feel like there's a release
Of, yeah yeah yeah

When I do anything that makes me not feel
And I feel anyone feels so liberated
'Cause when I put one step, I take another step
I do another step
Sometimes the distance varies, 'cause I'm adjusting to the terrain
And if I'm supersticious I don't want to step on no cracks
And if there's a rock in the way, I'll move out of the way
My brain can function on many different planes
And so can all of yours, that's how we function in the world but sometimes we fuck up and we're looking at a girl and we run into a sign and it gives us a concussion and we wake up in another location later yeah
That is human yes

When I take some chocolate
Fucking it in my pants and
And go for a bike ride and I'm reaching for my passport
I get a gooey sensation and I remember what I put in there
And I feel like an idiot because I don't remember how chocolate works works
I'm a chocolate idiot
I'm a chocolate dum-dum
I'm a chocolate idiot yeah
I'm a ch-ch-chocol-at-at-at idiot yeah

Down from the skies the I love
War like water flows
Gaia is calling from all around us
Woah woah
Don't worry people, if we fuck up too bad as a human race nature's just going to kill us all
It's alright, it's just going to suck for us, not for the Earth yes
It's been around for billions of years, we don't even matter to it

We got a choice
We got a choice
You got to know how it functions
You see a comparision between two different paths or sometimes more than one and then you choose one that's a choice yeah yeah

Make a choice make a choice not bad
Everything's not bad
Make a choice make a choice today
Make a choice make a choice today
Make a choice make a choice today
Yeah yeah come on
Yeah you feeling me?

C'mon yes,
Rainbow raindeer prancing down the mountain yes
With little prancing feet it's prancing time yeah
With antlers, antler, lots of antlers, attacking other antlers, fighting for supremacy
Oh yeah oh yeah
We've got lots of drones in the air yeah
Lots of big remote control deadly warriors in the sky
That's no different from the antlers between you and I yeah yeah
Humans they're really good at tools yeah
They're really really really good at tools yeah
And making all kinds of tools some good some for destructive purpose and stuff that's ok 'cause we have a fascination with decomposition and deconstruction yeah

I liked to blow shit up when I was a little boy,
Blow shit up when I was a little boy
It's in our nature
To see how things destroy in a beautiful way

We want to fight for our right to destroy one another
We've got to fight for our right to destroy one another
Destroy one another yeah

The Italians designed weapons like this
The French designed weapons like this
The United States works conjointly with other nations to develop weapons like this
They exploit them all over the world and people say this
Everything is really cool and stuff inside the bliss
The black market they're all scurged with lots of people who toys that they can see and the toys are really cool but then they forget that the toys have consequences and they actually kill people and then they go 'oh my God what the fuck did I do', but then they become numb to it and they just kind of look at people just as objects and they don't consider the impact nor nature of what they're doing to one another yeah
'Cause you've got to fight
You've got to fight
You've got to fight yes
You've got to fight haha
You've got to fight to take somebody out,
Tonight.

Thanks guys, thanks guys, thank you.

Reggie Watts (born March 23, 1972) is a Brooklyn, New York-based comedian and musician. His shows are mostly improvised and consist of stream of consciousness stand-up in various shifting personae, mixed with loop pedal-based a cappella compositions. He performs regularly on television, radio, and in live theater. His comic skills come into play in improvisational performance, as well as performance of written music.

Watts' genesis as a solo performer started to emerge at the beginning of 2002. While touring years earlier with the Wayne Horvitz 4+1 Ensemble, Watts was forced to downsize his effects pedal from a Roland Space Echo tape delay to a Line 6 DL4 delay modeler, a smaller device that makes it easy to travel. He began using the Line 6 in live shows with Maktub, in order to replicate the duplicate harmonies from the recorded material. Then he experimented with improvising entire songs in solo acts with the Line 6, playing initial gigs at small Seattle venues and artist bungalows. Inspired by The State and Wet Hot American Summer, he began infusing spontaneous comedic material with the beat box-driven musical compositions.

Wanting to concentrate on solo comedic performance, Watts moved to the Lower East Side, New York City, in 2004. He shot comedic web shorts for Superdeluxe, Vimeo and CollegeHumor, where his video "What About Blowjobs?" became a viral hit. He also formed a theatrical collaboration with playwright Tommy Smith, and began developing web philosophy/content with online entrepreneur Jakob Lodwick, with whom he recorded the EP Pot Cookies. Moving to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2006, Watts started to branch out into performing for television and film, while continuing to pursue live performance and the creation of new performance technologies.
