Almost Human

Voltaire Almost Human Lyrics
1.Out of Reach

You'll burn my flag
You'll crash my car
You'll kill my cat
You'll break my balls
You'll watch my cities fall
But not tonight.

You're the Devil's own
You'll cheat and lie
And you won't stop until
You stole the glimmer
From my eye
But not tonight.

'Cause I wont let you
I know you want to
But not with me.
It's all so clear to see
You can try to destroy me
But not tonight
'Cause I won't let you.
You can fight if you like
Some other time
You'll find I'm out of reach
Your words can't hurt me
(Your words can't touch me)
I'm out tonight.

You'll burn my flag
You're my demise
You'll orchestrate my fall
You'll kill my cat
You'll burn my bridge
You'll scale my castle wall
To get to me.
You'll break my will
You'll sell my soul
You'll take my heart
And replace it
With a gapping hole
And step on me
(chorus)

Oh, my heart's divided
Yes, surrender would be nice
To just lay down my sword
And shield by the flowers
But I know that you lie
In wait tonight
(chorus)
(You can fight if you like
You can scream if you want
Yell your stubborn head off
Anything at all)


2.Underground

Six feet of earth above my head

Keeps me safe from what she says

Six walls of wood to keep them out

Their smart remarks, the screams the shouts

They scream, they shout


There's only one way to drown them out


I hear your voice I hit the ground

You looked for me but I'm not around

In that small cafe there I wrote it down


I looked for you, you were not around
You're the buring lie that kills my child
He's gone underground
I've gone underground


I've gone underground

I've gone underground


Some come to pay their last respects


Or beckon me to come around

They leave dried flowers in the air

Or place their feelings on the doorstep

At best they try to understand
And offer plans, most futile plans


Here in this darkness I can see


Your skin is the closest thing to grace
It dancelike goes upon my fingers

And feelings fly, they're still alive


There's only one way to drown them out

I hear your voice I hit the ground

You looked for me but I'm not around
In that small cafe there I wrote it down


I looked for you, you were not around

You're the buring lie that kills my child

She's gone underground

I've gone underground


I've gone underground

I've gone underground

I've gone underground


I've gone underground


Underground


Six feet of earth above my head

Don't keep me safe from what she says

Six walls of wood don't keep them out
These frightful screams come from inside

They lay with me here through the night


3.God Thinks

God thinks all blacks are obsolete farm eqipment

God thinks the Jews killed his son and must be punished

God thinks the white man is Satan

God, they know what God thinks


God thinks we should all convert to Judaism
God thinks we must all be Christians and

God thinks we should all embrace Islam

God thinks the only true religion is Hinduism


And I

I know what God thinks

God thinks you're a waste of flesh


God prefers an Atheist


God thinks all people like you are evil

God thinks all people like you are an embarassment to creation

Self-righteous, judgemental, first to throw the stone

And use His name for your own protection


God thinks the sun revolves around the Earth

God thinks there was something very wrong with Copernicus
God thinks abortion is murder and


God thinks everything that science gave us is wrong

God thinks women deserve it

God thinks AIDS is a form of punishment


I hate people who blame the Devil for their own shortcomings and


I hate people who thank God when things go right


And I

I know what God thinks

God thinks you're an idiot


God prefers a heretic


God God

God thinks all people like you are evil

God thinks all people like you are an embarassment to creation

Self-righteous, judgemental, first to throw the stone
And use His name for your own agenda


God is a liberal

God is a democrat

God wants you to vote republican
Never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of god


And says that it's absolute truth

Its lies and it smells like death

Its all in a day's work taking money from the poor

Why do you think that God would need your dirty money

If he wanted to start a holy war?


Self-righteous, judgemental, first to throw the stone
And use His name for your own protection


God thinks puppies need to die and

God thinks babies need to drown


'cause God is neither good nor bad
God is you and me
God is Everything


4.Dead Girls

I have been in this line of work for a long time
And I have never seen anything so strange and so peculiar
Its all so deranged
See for yourself
Ladies and gentelmen of the jury
Step right up and see the freak
We caught him red handed down by the morgue
Where he sleeps
And if you think that 'That's disgusting'
Wait til you hear this
I never can do it justice

Dead girls like me
Dead girls like me
Can't you see?

I don't expect you to understand me
I'm not an ordinary man
And I have seen things with these eyes
You'd never comprehend
See for yourself now
Take those living women
They have never shown me any kindness of any kind
Its not my fault i look this way
I try to talk to them
They look at me and walk away
So really is it so strange that

Dead girls like me
Can't you see?
Only dead girls like me
Oh, dead girls like me
Can't you see?
Only dead girls don't walk away from me
Sad as it seems

Have you ever tasted love like this?
Cool and smooth have you ever been accepted unconditionaly?
Have you ever loved someone who didn't hurt you, didn't harm
you?

There's no pain and there's no pressure
No humiliation
There's no fear and there's no shame
There's no pulse now is it so strange?

Dead girls like me
Can't you see?
Only dead girls like me
Oh, dead girls like me
Can't you see?
Only dead girls don't walk away from me
Sad as it seems
