Stewart Copeland & StingAbout
On this track, composer-drummer Stewart Copeland’s strongly reggae-flavored rhythm and melody combine with Sting’s heartfelt lyrical plea to reject racism, xenophobia, and violence.

Re-Humanise Yourself Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
They kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanise yourself
[Verse 2]
A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanise yourself
[Chorus]
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
[Verse 3]
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanise yourself
[Verse 4]
Billy's joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You've got to humanise yourself
[Chorus]
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
[Verse 3]
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanise yourself
[Verse 2]
A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanise yourself
[Chorus]
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
