Human Kindness
Neil Finn

Saw myself in a leisure suit
Pretty white trash floating on the surface of life
It always comes to this that emptiness
No matter how many toys you got
It’s not enough, not ever enough
To take away the aching in your heart
For human kindness

No one’s sleeping in the deafening silence
There’s no address, no number listed
For the one that took the shot
Ready or not, his righteous and twisted crusade
Is over now, need someone else
To take away the aching in our hearts
For human kindness

No one’s sleeping in the deafening silence
And there’s a time for it
For humankind

I wanna cry so hard
Wanna break down, it feels so good
I wanna ride all night
Make you laugh, make you feel good

No matter how many toys you got
It’s not enough, not ever enough
To take away the anguish in our hearts
For human kindness

Is anyone asleep tonight
In the deafening silence
He’ll take it away from us
If we don’t make time
For humankind
