The Thing About Mankind

you haven't been yourself

in quite a while

you said you were alright

but seem confused

so tell me now

what it is

he said, listen here

I'll tell you, dear

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

we fight with ourselves

while smiling on account

we cover insecurities

with artificial strength

we get irritated

by careless things

make silly faces

while we speak

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

want to be understood

even while in disguise

dazed and diffused

we're blindly unkind

blindly unkind

blindly unkind

blindly unkind

blindly unkind

blindly unkind

blindly unkind

you haven't been yourself

in quite a while

but that's ok, that's alright

because in this room

we all get the thing

we understand the thing

the thing about, the thing about

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind

the thing about mankind
