I'm a human
I'm a human, I'm a human
Don't treat me, like I don't belong
You keep on trying to put words into my mouth
and blocking my ears with meaningless songs
Chorus
Give me a reason
and I'll give you my voice
I'm not taking orders
till you give me a choice
I'll not have you, listen into my dreams
anyone who does that, is just obscene
You surround yourself, with all your " Yes men "
who clear up the mess, wherever you've been
Chorus
Give me a reason
and I'll give you my voice
I'm not taking orders
till you give me a choice
I'm a human, I'm a human
Don't treat me, like I don't belong
no one else, can see your fake smile
and see evil, and know that you're wrong
Chorus
Give me a reason
and I'll give you my voice
I'm not taking orders
till you give me a choice
I'm a human, I'm a human
don't make a choice, that I'll make you regret
make you wake up, lying in sweat
cos you crossed over, and made me upset
I'm a human, I'm a human
I'm a human, I'm a human
I'm a human, I'm a human
I'm a human, I'm a human
I'm a human, I'm a human
Are youuu ?

Excellent song Katie,
Well put together with some good punches to the gut!
There are consequences if they cross you and you'll make 'em pay.
Well said, well written, love it, well done.

@KatiesPRIDE I like the way you left it open as to who you're speaking to in this lyric. In my somewhat twisted mind, it speaks to me as you're speaking to the powers-that-be, tho' I could be completely wrong. You could be speaking to people in general or maybe even a lover or a friend. Pretty cool that it's left up to the listener to decide on their own. And the end, "Are you?" punches you in the face. In my mind, they're NOT human because humans have a conscience and a heart and a soul of which "they" don't.
Anyway, looking forward to more of what you got!

Hi thanks for the feedback, if I'm honest, when I wrote the lyrics it was aimed at someone speaking back to an abuser or cohersive behaviour, but it's good that it can be open to interpretation
Are you ?
I know you are human, but are you ? Is a challenge, can you be human to treat someone this way

@KatiesPRIDE thank you for the clarification. Works for me! And some people don't qualify as human. Lots of animals out there, unfortunately.

I like your "I'm a human" hook. I think lines like this work best when they are slightly abstracted as this is.
Got a good feel to it.
Really small thing but you might try:
no one else, can see your fake smile → no one else can, see your fake smile (ie change where the comma is).

Thanks Owen, I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment, I've never been able to put my lyrics to music before
