Humankind Lyrics by David Kushner

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 testifying in the light but he was harnessing prayer
He had the spirit and expensive taste in fashion

I’m the one that you came and slaughtered
You spin me around
I was looking for living water
You just let me drown

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, my heaven is cussing me out
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Humankind just lets me down

They lost the message in a bottle, now it’s covered in blood
They sell or save it just to make a Great Commission
We love the ones who hurt us, then we hurt the ones that we love
We’re sacrificing one another for tradition

I’m the one that you came and slaughtered
You spin me around
I was looking for living water
You just let me drown

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, my heaven is cussing me out
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Humankind just lets me down

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

Ho-oh-oh-oh-ome
Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ome
Ho-oh-oh-oh-ome
Humankind just lets me down
