[INTRO — Deadpan male voice, deep hypnotic bass, quirky electronic percussion and a rubbery synth wobble.] [MALE SPOKEN VOCAL] Welcome to the human experience. You were born without instructions. Your ego has already lodged a complaint. Please remain calm. Nobody knows what they're doing. [Pause.] Well... almost nobody. [BEAT DROPS — Bouncy, infectious techno groove, deep rolling bass and quirky synth stabs.] [VERSE 1] Came in screaming, didn't know why, Spent my whole life asking why. They said be this, they said be that, I lost myself beneath the hat. Chasing answers, chasing gold, Trying to be somebody I'm told. Then one day I looked around, Nobody knows what's going down! [PRE-CHORUS — Bass and handclaps.] All that searching, all that noise, All those rules and all those toys. I stopped looking for the key... [Beat pauses.] Turns out, nothing's wrong with me! [CHORUS — BIG, CATCHY TECHNO HOOK, BOUNCING BASS AND GANG VOCALS.] JUST BE HUMAN! JUST BE HERE! EGO'S TALKING — DON'T YOU FEAR! NO ONE'S COMING! NO ONE KNOWS! THAT'S JUST HOW THE CIRCUS GOES! JUST BE HUMAN! LET IT ROLL! STOP TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR SOUL! [Gang vocals] HEY! HEY! LET IT GO! HEY! HEY! WHAT A SHOW! [POST-CHORUS — Addictive vocal chops over driving bass.] BE! BE! BE! BE WHO YOU ARE! BE! BE! BE! YOU'VE COME THIS FAR! [VERSE 2 — Playful delivery, funky bass and quirky synth accents.] We spend our lives trying to improve, Chasing some imaginary groove. Try to be better, try to be right, Turn all our darkness into light. We judge the world, we judge ourselves, Put our imperfections on the shelves. Point out the cracks in everyone, Then find our own before day's done! [Spoken aside] Well, that's embarrassing. [PRE-CHORUS — Percussion builds.] I see your flaws, you see mine, We're all a mess in different designs. I'm not perfect, neither are you... [Beat cuts.] Thank Christ we've got a sense of humour! [CHORUS — FULL GROOVE RETURNS.] JUST BE HUMAN! JUST BE HERE! EGO'S TALKING — DON'T YOU FEAR! NO ONE'S COMING! NO ONE KNOWS! THAT'S JUST HOW THE CIRCUS GOES! JUST BE HUMAN! LET IT ROLL! STOP TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR SOUL! [Gang vocals] HEY! HEY! LET IT GO! HEY! HEY! WHAT A SHOW! [VERSE 3 — Darker hypnotic groove, robotic vocal accents.] Used to think I had to grow, Find the truth and crack the code. Climb a mountain, find a sign, Leave this messy self behind. Then I saw the funniest thing, The ego wants an enlightenment ring! Wants a medal, wants a throne, For being proud of being grown! [Spoken, dry and sarcastic] Congratulations. You've achieved a higher level of self-importance. [Beat stutters. Distorted synth laugh.] [BUILD — Rising synths, accelerating percussion and opening bass.] No one to become! No race to win! No perfect version hiding within! No sacred mission! No grand design! Just this strange little life of mine! [Beat stops.] And an ego... [Pause.] That won't shut up! [DROP — HEAVY, BOUNCY TECHNO BASS.] [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE, FULL DANCE-FLOOR ENERGY.] JUST BE HUMAN! JUST BE HERE! EGO'S TALKING — DON'T YOU FEAR! NO ONE'S COMING! NO ONE KNOWS! THAT'S JUST HOW THE CIRCUS GOES! JUST BE HUMAN! LET IT ROLL! STOP TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR SOUL! [Gang vocals] HEY! HEY! LET IT GO! HEY! HEY! WHAT A SHOW! HEY! HEY! HERE WE ARE! NOTHING TO FIX! JUST DANCE IN THE DARK! [DANCE BREAK — Hypnotic rolling bass, metallic percussion and psychedelic synth lead. Chopped vocals: “Just be human!” “What a show!” “Nobody knows!” A distorted laugh becomes percussion.] [BRIDGE — Minimal kick, warm synth pad and intimate spoken vocal.] Maybe growing older Isn't becoming something new. Maybe it's just getting tired Of pretending you need to. You can be wise. You can be wrong. You can be quiet. You can sing along. You can see the joke And still feel the pain. You can lose your mind And find your way again. And if you catch yourself Being a hypocrite... [Pause.] Congratulations. You're human. [BUILD — Bass pulse grows, snare rolls and synths rise.] [FINAL CHORUS — FULL DANCE-FLOOR EXPLOSION.] JUST BE HUMAN! JUST BE HERE! EGO'S TALKING — DON'T YOU FEAR! NO ONE'S COMING! NO ONE KNOWS! THAT'S JUST HOW THE CIRCUS GOES! JUST BE HUMAN! LET IT ROLL! STOP TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR SOUL! [Gang vocals] HEY! HEY! LET IT GO! HEY! HEY! WHAT A SHOW! [OUTRO — Bass and percussion gradually strip back to the original wobbling synth.] [MALE SPOKEN VOCAL] Well, that's the human experience. Still no instructions. Still no idea what's going on. But the music's pretty good. [Pause.] Might as well enjoy the ride. [A single electronic beep. Beat cuts.]
