Letra This Human Equation por Ayreon

[Tom Baker]
Meanwhile…
The Angel and her furies are observing
All these earthly events from their vantage point
In transitus
(mmm)
They find the complexities of human nature
Fascinating – perplexing, and endlessly
Entertaining!
And they are determined to resolve
This human equation
(hahaha – oh, poor people)

[Simone Simons]
You'd think they were crazy

I'd almost say
Stupid

But they can be amazing

Although they don't
Look it
Yes, they can be charming
Uniquely disarming
Naive, but enchanting
On a good day they're
Gracious, well-mannered, endearing
Yes, dare I say
Nice!

They seem so contented
Yet inside so damn sad

They pretend to be decent
Then turn out to be bad

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They claim to be honest

[Simone Simons]
But really they're liers

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They try to be modest
[Simone Simons]
But often they're
Cocky, conceited, pretentious, obnoxious, and
Vain

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]

Evolved or creation?

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
The one explanation:
Universal migration!

[Simone Simons]
They plan

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They scheme

[Simone Simons]
They're not what they seem

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They hide
[Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp]
Behind their disguise

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They're loud
They brag
They shout and they nag
But man what a drive
They're on fire
See them thrive
They're alive!

[Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp]
This human equation
Is driving us crazy
This human equation

[Simone Simons]
And yet
They amuse us (they amuse us)
Just because they confuse us (just because they confuse us)
For their logic eludes us (for their logic eludes us)
But their passion consumes us (but their passion consumes us)

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
You'd think they are crazy

[Simone Simons]
I'd almost say stupid

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
But then they amaze you

[Simone Simons]
Although they don't look it

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]

For their logic eludes us

[Simone Simons]
But their passion consumes us

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
Yet they can be charming

[Simone Simons]
Uniquely disarming

[Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
Naive but enchanting

[Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp]

Gracious, well-mannered, endearing
Yes, dare I say

[Simone Simons]
