Some say the world is spinning faster
Some say it isn't fast enough
Some people say they've got the answer
And some are scared to say they can't keep up
I read the paper but it still isn't clear
The bombs are falling but i'm still here
I know all the figures and i know all the facts
But all i can do is keep trying . . . .
To look for the human touch
Life is hard when you've got nothing
Life can be hard when you've got too much
Sometimes i wonder what's the difference
It's only better with someone to touch
I got the telephone stuck to my ear
I keep yelling but you don't hear
In all the universe i'm just a speck of dust
But all i can do is keep trying . . . .
To give you the human touch
You know we're nothing in the scheme of things
Just microchips in big machines
And the world is spinning round and round
But i know that we can slow it down
And i know that i can make you see
I'm on the side of you and me
And all i want to do
Listen to me . . .
Is give you . . . give you
Give you the human touch
