The Human Touch — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Some say the world is spinning faster

Some say it isnt fast enough

Some people say theyve got the answer

And some are scared to say they cant keep up



I read the paper but it still isnt clear

The bombs are falling but Im still here

I know all the figures and I know all the facts

But all I can do is keep trying . . . .

To look for the human touch



Life is hard when youve got nothing

Life can be hard when youve got too much

Sometimes I wonder whats the difference

Its only better with someone to touch



I got the telephone stuck to my ear

I keep yelling but you dont hear

In all the universe Im just a speck of dust

But all I can do is keep trying . . . .

To give you the human touch



You know were nothing in the scheme of things

Just microchips in big machines

And the world is spinning round and round

But I know that we can slow it down

And I know that I can make you see

Im on the side of you and me



And all I want to do

Listen to me . . .

Is give you . . . give you



Give you the human touch
