Ain’t You a Human? lyrics

“We’re built to feel shame, but we’re also built to rise above feeling shamed for reasons that we eventually realize are bullsh*t. All that stuff we can’t rise above being shamed for… if they exist? That’s ‘quasi-official’ shame. Can God feel shame? Atheists agree God can’t feel shame, unless you think ‘non-existence can feel shame.’ Many atheists, on the other hand, want God to exist just so God can feel shame. Well, that’d be ‘official’ shame wouldn’t it? The shame God can feel?”

Let’s start from what “they” think they are
“They” think they’re better than us
(“Who’s they, Col-cray?”)
Call “they” the conceptual “Jim”
Anytime anyone thinks they’re better than anythin’
Than a criminal; than a rock
Than anythin’ that can’t dominate them every step of the way
And in every single way
Metaphysically
Ontologically

So “Jim’s” on a high horse
Sometimes he wears fine clothes
Jim likes to keep it so fancy
Prestige exists as new-branded
Now Jim’s a woman
Now Jim’s polite
Now Jim has reasons for being better
Now Jim’s likable
Now Jim’s every TV character we root for at the movies
Now Jim’s quasi-holy

But you still a human, ain’t you Jim?
(Not only did you not want us alongside you
You now want our pepsi not to get on you)
But you still a person, aren’t-cha Coca-Cola?
(Not only did you not want us to exist
You now want our persistence not to get on you)
The high-status, the divine
The pedigreed, the elite
Conceptually speaking
Where do they meet?
They exist as functional divinity
Luckier than us
They have more diamonds than us
They exist as more understandable than us
Finer, they’re like a different species…

If they could, they’d push a red button
To have the Second Coming never be born
That’s a quality that exists
In human nature
If some could, some would push a red button
To have their enemy never be born
The red button’s a concept we’ll speak openly about
As human beings
Born of human nature

And you still a human, ain’t you Jim?
(Not only did you not want us alongside you
You now want our pepsi not to get on you)
And you still a person, aren’t-cha Coca-Cola?
(Not only did you not want us to exist
You now want our persistence not to get on you)
And you still a human, ain’t you Mitch?
(Not only did you not want us alongside you
You now want our pepsi not to get on you)
You still a person, ain’tcha Diet Pepsi-Cola?
(Not only did you not want us to exist
You now want our resistance not to get on you)

“Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ’cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.”
