This Human Equation Songtext
von Ayreon

Meanwhile, the angel and her furies are observing all this earthly events from their vantage point in Transitus
Hmmmm
They find the complexities of human nature fascinating, perplexing and endlessly entertaining. And they are determined to resolve this human equation
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Oh, poor people

You′d think they were crazy
I'd almost say... Stupid
But they can be amazing
Although they don′t look it

Yes they can be charming
Uniquely disarming
Naive but enchanting
One a good day they're gracious, Well-mannered
... Endearing, yes dare I say
NICE!

They seem so contented
Yet inside so damn sad
They pretend to be decent
Then turn out to be bad


They claim to be honest
But really they're liars
They try to be modest
But often they′re cocky, conceited pretentious, obnoxious and... Vain

This Human Equation
Is driving us crazy
This Human Equation
This Human Equation
Success and frustration
Wealth and starvation
Moral stagnation
Evolved or creation?
The one explanation
Universal Migration


They plan
They scheme
They′re not what they seen
They hide behind their disguise
They're loud
They brag
They shout and they nag
But man what a drive
They′re on fire
See them thrive
They're Alive!

This Human Equation
Is driving us crazy
This Human Equation

And yet they amuse us
Just because they confuse us
For their logic eludes us
But their passion consumes us

You′d think they were crazy
I'd almost say stupid
But then they amaze you
Although they don′t look it

They seem so contented
Yet inside so damn sad
They pretend to be decent
Then turn out to be bad
But then they amaze you
Just because they confuse us
For their logic eludes us
But their passion consumes us

Yes they can be charming
Uniquely disarming
Naive but enchanting
One a good day they're gracious, Well-mannered
... Endearing, yes dare I say
NICE!
