Grant Lee Phillips – Humankind lyrics
And the point of my life is what
What if it doesn't add up
And the trouble was all for naught
Chalk it to the state of the world
Revelations are soon forgot

If only humankind was not so heartless now
Heartless now
It's hard to love your fellow man
However can I help myself
From harboring such evil

And the reason of pain is clear
Never learned the lesson of bliss
All the riches to squander here

If only humankind was not so selfish now
Selfish now
It's hard to love your fellow man
However can I help myself
From harboring such evil

Heartless now
Heartless now
Ooh oh oh

And the point of the stars is to shine
Shine a little light in our way
When the fear in my heart leaves me blind
Even in the light of the day
Come stumbling out
Ooh ooh ooh

If only humankind was not so heartless now
Heartless now
It's hard to love your fellow man
However can I help myself
From harboring such evil

Whenever we're so heartless now
Heartless now
Oh oh oh
