Busy Being Human

Got no time to sit around
And watch the world go by
Got too many worries on my mind
Sleepy-eyed and duty-bound
I put my needs aside
And p ray I'll have my fill in another life

I'm so busy being human
I've never learned to know
How it's like
To know what it's like in the now

Onerous years of no delight
This wicked life I lead
Ain't no time for resting on a cloud
Comfort's yet nowhere in sight
So how can I succeed
With too many things to do and care about

I'm so busy being human
I've never learned to know
How it's like
To know what it's like in the now
Right here in the now

I'd like to know how it feels
To pause the world
And catch my breath for a little while
And leave off my load
And never, never, ever look back

SOLO

I'm so busy being human
I've never learned to know
How it's like
To know what it's like in the now
Just how it's like
In the now - now - now - now
Hey - hey - hey
