Human

The sun, a mass of burning fire, seems like a dot to you

You've always tried to tame him since you were a child

We were born as big as ants, but we feel like giants

Of all the monkeys in the world, the most intelligent ones

As we grew up we created an empire, each our own fence1

We could enjoy the garden, but it doesn't look like you're convinced

Because you aim higher, you are a conqueror

The whole world is at your feet, but you want to have the sun

The audience applauds you, teenage man

Then rock everything, you are the winning horse

Human, smile, you are always the best

Human, smile, who's better off than you?

Human, smile, you are always right

Human, smile for the cameras

The sun that glitters and shines is a golden ball

Running and kicking is our job

And you are a goalscorer, you are a super footballer

You are like Juve2, you always want more power3

And you are willing to do anything, to give up color

Give up family, friends, and even love

Then queue up, like a good ant

And that new series, you've called it life

Human, smile, you are always the best

Human, smile, who's better off than you?

Human, smile, you are always right

Human, smile for the cameras

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off than you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off than me?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off than you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off?

And the days pass, the years also pass

This whole story4 makes us feel great

But the flowers wither, bite the last fruits

We are little suns that will all burn

We should be slowing down but we're speeding up

I'm telling you this while laughing, but I'm not joking

Human, smile, you are always the best

Human, smile, who's better off than you?

Human, smile, you are always right

Human, smile, who's better off than you?

If you overrev5 the engine burns

But as long as you're going strong, who's better off than you?

And all that sunshine will break your heart

Quit messing6, who's better off than me?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off than you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off than me?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off than you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, who's better off?

Human, smile, you are always the best

I'll give you a spoiler, in the end you die

1. The fence is implicitly used to create an enclosure around the "empire".
2. Short name for Juventus football team.
3. Reference to various scandals involving the football team.
4. In this case "storia" can mean story, history and tale.
5. "vai su di giri", which literally translates to overrev, in Italian means getting into a psychological burnout.
6. The expression "Ma fammi un favore", which literally translates to "Do me a favor", is ironically used by Italians to answer to a blatantly false statement. In this case, the person who's asking the question is not believing the sentence "And all that sunshine will break your heart".
