"Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don't want to go there

Some humans ain't human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you're sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

You might go to church
And sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain't human
Could be sittin' right next to you
They talk about your family
They talk about your clothes
When they don't know their own ass
From their own elbows

Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm


Have you ever noticed
When you're feeling really good
There's always a pigeon
That'll come shit on your hood

Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm"

Country star John Prine has launched a scathing attack on US President George W Bush, because he can't contain his anger over the war in Iraq.

The Fair And Square hitmaker uses his song Some Humans Ain'T Human to take aim at the American leader, and cites Bush's nearby visit to his Ireland home as the final motivation to voice his distaste.

The lyrics read: "You're feeling freedom and the world's off your back/Some cowboy from Texas starts his own war in Iraq?"

He explains, "I have a place 45 minutes from Shannon. Bush made a visit to Shannon airport and they bought out the entire Irish army to keep the anti-war protesters at bay. I was already totally opposed to the Bush administration but not to the point where I felt like writing a song about it.

"He takes cheap shots, so I thought that one good turn deserved another." "
