So your prophets of finance have fallen
On their collective proverbial face
And you hear muffled voices callin
Welcome to the human race

And your mermaids disappeared without a trace
Now you comb the streets of sandcastle city
Welcome to the human race

Welcome to the human race
Welcome to the human race
Welcome to the human race
Open up your hea
