The Human Touch Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Some say the world is spinning faster 

Some say it isn't fast enough 

Some people say they've got the answer 

And some are scared to say they can't keep up 

I read the paper but it still isn't clear 

The bombs are falling but I'm 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 you've got nothing 

Life can be hard when you've got too much 

Sometimes I wonder what's the difference 

It's only better with someone to touch 

I got the telephone stuck to my ear 

I keep yelling but you don't hear 

In all the universe I'm just a speck of dust 

But all I can do is keep trying... 

To give you the human touch 

You know we're 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 

I'm 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
