[Verse 1]

I'm only human, I go near the fire

I'm watching the sparks fly again and again

(I)

I am a monkey

(And anyone)

With a loaded gun

[Verse 2]

I'm only human, I don't tie my laces

If I'm in a hurry, I stumble and fall

(And I)

I run like a bonzo

(Always)

On a tight leash

[Verse 3]

I'm only human, I split the atoms

I can control heaven and hell

(I)

I am a monster

(I wake up)

To fear of dawn

[Chorus]

And I will shoot you in the back

As soon as your grin starts to crack

Yeah, I will shoot you in the back
