HOOMAN AFTER ALL

Alex was a winner of a fierce competition
forcing rivals into submission
then stretching out like nothing happened
Alex was adored by the neighborhood
always got his way like nobody could
but no one's seen him for weeks
too many crows in the streets today

Fletch was picky, the kid brother of Mickey
mouse is icky, beef is stinky
bird is sticky, fish just fishy
always stitching up petty excuses
“I eat veggies to save life, it's what is right”
the worst part, he believed his own lies
saw him bring a spherical purple veggie
forgot the name, something starting with an O
wonder if he ate it already

ummm meow... why do hoomans love us?
ummm meow... like we're the center of their universe?

hooman after all
hooman after all
hooman after all
just hooman, after all

Morgan is a thinker, not into fights at all
analyzing a bulldog pissing on a street pole
claiming ownership of a place
he only visits for twenty seconds a day
you're marking it safe but you don't want to stay
you walk with a leash ‘cause you never obey

Kate was white as snow
but a shadow in her mind began to grow
she lay down on the dirt, powder-puff
then went looking for mud, as if it wasn't enough
she wished for dark hair like Joe's
scratched at herself through pain for pink toes
fixing flaws with claws, no pause
looking for peace ain't always pretty it seems

hooman after all
hooman after all
hooman after all
just hooman, after all

pet me, pet me, not now
pet me, pet me

I feel like eating, I feel like puking hairballs
I feel like making this glass of water fall
till the hoomans come running

hooman after all
hooman after all
hooman after all
just hooman, after all
