[Dramatic piano]

[Melancholy woman]
[Verse 1]
Hmmmmmm...
Another morning... another day... my heart is heavy... it's the price I pay...
How long will I be a slave... driving myself to an early grave...
If this is what life is... then I don't want to be human anymore...

[Bridge]
[Pasionate woman]
We work, we eat, we sleep, and we pretend that we don't weep. The system we live in makes us all want to give in.

[Chorus]
[Upbeat woman]
All I know is stress! Stress! Stress!
And my head is a mess! Mess! Mess!
I really need to find some peace of mind!
But it keeps getting harder and harder to find!

[Verse 2]
[Slow tempo shift]
[Melancholy woman]
Ha-ahhhh... hmmm-mmm-hmmm...
I've been through some darkness... I've given up and thought I was heartless...
Sometimes your best isn't good enough...
And you CRY because life gets too tough!
Yeah, you CRY and wish it wasn't so rough!
If this is what life is, then I don't want to be human anymore!

[Bridge]
[Passionate man]
We work, we eat, we sleep, and we pretend that we don't weep.
[Passionate woman]
The system we live in makes us all want to give in...

[Chorus]
[Heavy tempo shift]
[Passionate woman, back up man]
All I know is stress! Stress! Stress!
And my head is a mess! Mess! Mess!
I really need to find some peace of mind!
But it keeps getting harder and harder to find!
Ha-ahhhh-ahhh... ohhh...

[Change up]
[Heavy tempo shift]
[Emotional man]
I'm not just a broken man... (no-oh!)
I've given everything the best that I can!
I don't expect you to understand... (no-oh!)
It's complicated, and it wasn't plan-hand!
So go ahead and write me off! Coz I'd RATHER that and be alone!
Yeah, I'd RATHER that then be your clone!
If this is what life is, then I don't want to be human anymore!

[Bridge]
[Melancholy woman]
We work, we eat, we sleep, and we pretend that we don't weep. The system we live in makes us all want to give in...

[Chorus]
[Upbeat woman, back up man]
All I know is stress! Stress! Stress!
And my head is a mess! Mess! Mess!
I really need to find some peace of mind!
But it keeps getting harder and harder to find!

[Slow tempo shift]
[Outro]
[Melancholy woman]
If this is what life is... hmm-mmm-hmm-mmm... then I don't want to be human anymore...
