Well I was born a human, nothing more and nothing less
With aggression in my program but compassion in my chest
Though I'm on top of the food chain I'm not just an animal
I was cursed with the ability to know what's ethical
So I say goodbye to anger, greed, and hate
And that's why you find no violence on my plate
Well I was born a human but I won't fall in the trap
Of saying, "this is how it's always been and I'm okay with that"
'Cuz wasn't human slavery a tradition of the past?
Subjugation of another who was caught without defense
I'm no exploiter and I'm not predator
No, I am human I know better
We're the species of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms
We are human, we know better
A man on the moon and nuclear bombs
We are human, we know better
Aristotle and immunization
We are human, we know better
Shakespeare, telecommunication
We are human, we know better
So I call to all mankind to embrace your human mind
And to your animal self don't surrender
'Cuz we are human and we know better
