LYRICS
If you’re gonna pray, you might as well say
“I pray that I get it right!”
If you’re gonna say you might as well pray
“I pray that I get this right!”

Better pray, better pray all through the night
Better pray, better pray all through the day
Better pray as I work at working it into my work
Better pray as I work at working at what I play

LYRICS
It doesn’t matter who you are
You can go as far….

You can go as far as any star
You can rise up into heaven
You can sing or play the guitar
You can make what is odd even
And, then….

LYRICS
I think I
I think I am
I think I can begin

I think it’s time to think
Crawl out from undercover
Crack a smile and wink
True love can never smother
Hug another like your lover
Hug another like your mother
Hug another

Smile, nod… or just say “hi” as they’re passing by
It’s not outrageous for something good to be contagious

Do my part
To start a heart
Let the hate depart

Ya know hate’s got to go
Pack his bag and stow
On the last train to “I don’t know”

LYRICS
What do I believe in?
I believe in the freedom of speech
That let’s me speak my mind
My right to point out someone viscous, savage… or kind
I believe in the freedom to believe in religion
Or the those that choose no diving discipline
My God!
Believin’ in believing in believing

I believe I can walk the walk
Given the freedom to talk, talk, talk
I don’t believe a bit in being a hypocrite
I do believe we should teach the children this bit

lyrics
Biz, biz, biz
This is the human biz
This is the humanness
The human biz
Well, well, wellness
Well, will we let out a yell
And, gel, gel, gel

This is the human biz
’cause “there’s no business
Like show business
Like no business
I know”

This is the human biz
The humanness
Well, well, wellness
Well, will we let out a yell
And, gel, gel, gel

ABOUT THE SONG
What is the human business? Whose business is it? If all the world is a stage, then humans must be the actors putting on the show of life.

This song is a techno anthem about humans putting on a good show. We can come together and find the groove. We can get together, let out a yell and gel!

The lyrics were made-up on-the-fly in an extemporaneous recording session. The instrumentation was recorded on an XBox 360 using Guitar Hero’s World Tour Music Studio software.
