Human Nature

Human nature

Human nature

We wanna make sure

That we can figure out

If we get talked about

I don't wanna know

The latest in salacious family news

Honestly, I hate it, but

It can keep me amused

Go on

Oh, no, she never

Let's get together

And talk it out

Human nature

Human nature

We wanna make sure

That we can figure out

If we get talked about

You don't wanna talk

But if you're gonna gossip, make it good

If they had a chance to dish on you

You know they would

You know

That office chatter

Tends not to flatter

And it's a shame

Although

It is beneath them

You'll grit your teeth when

You hear your name

Human nature

Human nature

We wanna make sure

That we can figure out

If we get talked about

You listen as they converse

And steel yourself for the worst

But nobody mentioned you at all

And lo

Your world was shattered

You did not matter

Amongst your peers

A blow

That made you stronger

So you no longer

Prick up your ears

Human nature

Human nature

We wanna make sure

That we get talked about

So we won't be left out
