You're only human (do you know what you're doing)

Lyrics

We seem to fear everyone, even when we've won
Those blinding jewels on the crown outshine our sun
Oh yeah, don't we have a say?
I think we're ahead, so what’s the point of this whole charade?
Now what are you going to blame
When we don't exist and they beckon us to play

Flies departing
Flies embarking
No one knew what they've been planning
You’re only human, do you know what you're doing?
Flies approaching
Flies destroying
Those above us should be asking
You’re only Truman, do you know what you’re doing?

When we looked up and saw the bomb
Fall on our heads and boom it is gone, boom we are gone
And we looked up and saw the bomb (floating gently downward)
Fall on our heads and boom it is gone, boom we are gone

Clear skies of blue all the way, on this runaway plane
Second time around it's the same, and so I sing in vain
Oh yeah, don't we have a say?
I think we're ahead, so what’s the point of this whole charade?
Now what are you going to blame
When we don't exist and they beckon us to play

Flies departing
Flies embarking
No one knew what they've been planning
You’re only human, do you know what you're doing?
Flies approaching
Flies destroying
Those above us should be asking
You’re only Truman, do you know what you’re doing?

When we looked up and saw the bomb
Fall on our heads and boom it is gone, boom we are gone
And we looked up and saw the bomb (floating gently downward)
Fall on our heads and boom it is gone, boom we are gone

Notes
Arta's "ProgK" instrumental dates back to 2002. Over the next year, Steven and Mark worked out at least three different vocal melodies for it. The band first attempted to record "ProgK" for Sunny Ash, but abandoned it when their other songs filled up the album. The newest recording of "ProgK," now called "You're only human (do you know what you're doing)," sounds like The Strokes and has a nice countermelody.
