THE HUMAN CONDITION Songtext
von Todd Snider

I was born in the human condition
Facing the great unknown
I was born in the human condition
I am facing the great unknown
Have to wonder what we′re doing here together
Even though I know I'm leaving here alone

So I found myself in the circle of some people
Where I wound up wishing I′d know
Found myself in the circle of some people
Where I wound up wishing I had know
No body know anybody well enough
To compare another life to their own


I can't please anybody that loves me
Anymore than anyone I known
I couldn't please anybody that loves me
Anymore than anyone I known
I had to kick my addiction to approval
So I could stick with the ones I enjoy

Like I don′t know how
Like I don′t know how
Like I don't know how
Like I don′t know how
Like I don't know how
Like I don′t know how

Without planning or reflecting
Or even expecting to be here now
Without planning or reflecting
Or even expecting to be here now
I was born in the human condition
Dancing like I don't know how
