NoMeansNo Lyrics

Phone your mom, you're human
You should call your mother if you're feeling upset because everyone experiences negative emotions, you're not alone in this.

Don't play dumb, you're human
Don't pretend like you don't have any problems or that you're immune to feeling bad; you're human like the rest of us.

I know that you're anxious
I can tell that you're nervous or worried about something and that's okay, human beings often feel anxious.

You want more than this
You're looking for something beyond your current circumstances, something that will fulfill you, which is a common human desire.

Clean your mess, you're human
Take responsibility for your actions and clean up after yourself; being human means making mistakes and having to fix them.

Get undressed, you're human
Don't be ashamed of your body, it's natural to have imperfections and flaws, you're only human.

I know you're embarrassed, Pale and hairless
You're feeling self-conscious about how you look, particularly when you're undressed or exposed, which is a common feeling among humans.

Step right up folks and join the fun
Come and see the spectacle of humanity, where there's always something interesting to observe and learn from.

See the amazing ape with his opposable thumb
Marvel at the remarkable evolutionary development of our hands allowing dexterity and usefulness; a unique characteristic of humans.

You'll be shocked, amazed, even horrified
As you learn more about humans, you'll feel a range of emotions from wonder to disgust, as we're capable of both incredible and terrible things.

That so much could be so compromised
It's surprising how often human potential is limited by our own ignorance, biases, and shortcomings.

Little monkeys making money
Like any other primate, humans work to earn money and survive, though we've attached a unique value system to this survival mechanism.

Naked monkeys looking funny
Humans look silly when we're naked, our bodies are neither practical nor attractive in their natural form.

Mighty males are strong and free
Male humans often perceive themselves as powerful and independent, even when they're not, it's a trait that's tied to their masculinity.

Female monkeys not so luck
Women have historically been marginalized compared to men, and this power dynamic extends beyond our primate relatives.

Rocking monkeys, funky monkeys
Humans enjoy music and dance as a form of entertainment, self-expression, and tribal bonding.

Monkeys kicking other monkeys
Unfortunately, humans also have a capacity for violence and aggression, sometimes directed at our own kind.

Monkeys wrong or monkeys right
Humans have a complex sense of morality and justice, which has evolved over time and differs between societies.

Mostly flexing monkey might
In general, humans are inclined to demonstrate power and dominance over others, even when it's not necessary or beneficial to do so.

Humans
The ultimate example of primates who are intelligent and self-aware, but also flawed and imperfect.

Now you've lost your eden
Humans have disrupted or destroyed many natural environments that were once considered paradises, creating irreparable harm to other species and our own ecosystem.

There is no returning
We can't go back in time or undo the damage we've done to our environment, we must try to move forward and do better.

It stares up and out at you
Our planet, including all of its organisms, is constantly observing us and the actions we take either as a force of change or as a threat to their existence.

It's not for you
You don't own or control the planet, you're just one part of its ecosystem and you have a responsibility to maintain it.

I don't care, I'm human
Sometimes we're selfish and don't consider the consequences of our actions, but it's important to recognize and own up to those tendencies.

I'm too scared, I'm human
Fear is a natural human response to danger or unknown situations, and it's something we all experience from time to time.

I know you want peice of mind
You're looking for a sense of calm or stability, which can be elusive in a world that is constantly changing and unpredictable.

To be with your kind
Humans seek out community and social connections, as we're wired to flourish in collaborative and supportive groups.

You won't believe your eyes
There are many things in the world that are difficult to comprehend or understand, and we often need to see them to believe them.

A cranium of unparralleled size
The human brain is a marvel of biological engineering, capable of complex processes and cognition unlike any other species.

Immaculate, if ill concieved
While our brains are impressive, they're also prone to biases, errors, and irrationalities that can lead to faulty decision-making and behavior.

A sight not to be believed
The complexity and diversity of human existence is awe-inspiring and overwhelming, something that's hard to capture in words or images.

I like other humans
Humans have a natural inclination towards empathy and compassion, which helps us form bonds and relationships with others.

They're so very human
Despite our various differences in culture, race, or nationality, we're all still bound by our shared humanity and the experiences that come with it.

I know that it's obvious
The things that seem most apparent are sometimes the things that we overlook or minimize the most.

We're all just like this
At the end of the day, we're all navigating the human experience, with its ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and all the complexities that come with it.
