Human Being by Cat Power is truly a song of declaration. It is declaring that no matter your race, class, gender, ability, sexual orientation etc., you have rights because you are a human. Period. She is singing that people have the right to be angry and scared. People have the right to be what they...
You've got a right
You've got a right
You've got a right, you're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You've got a right to scream
When they don't want you to speak
You've got a right to be
What you want and where you wanna be
You've got a right to believe
To breathe
You've got a right
You're a human being
You've got your own voice so sing
You've got two hands, let's go and make anything
We all got rules we all have to break
We all have to make those mistakes
When I say, I know the way, I'm only trying
No don't nobody know where the road to life is really lying
See the people on TV get shot in their very own street
People just like you, people just like me
Can't you see you got your hand on the advantages
You could stand to manage your damages
You, my dear, are a force to feed, not to fear
You've got a right to anywhere, anything
You've got a right, you've got a right
You're a human being
You've got a right to anywhere, anything
You've got a right, you've got a right
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
(x2)
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, you're a human being
