"Human Race" by Three Days Grace

 

I don't belong here

Not in this atmosphere

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

I don't belong here

Not in this atmosphere

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

 

Started with a kick and a punch

A claw to the face

And I was in the race

I was in the race

Yeah, yeah

You know it's hard sometimes

Being humankind

Keeping up with the pace

Keeping up with the pace

Yeah, yeah

I'm sick of running

Sick of running

Sick of running

The Human Race

The Human Race

 

If it's an eye for an eye

Then we all go blind

Is it hard to see?

Is it hard to see?

Yeah, yeah

So far behind

No finish line

It can happen to you

It can happen to me

Yeah

 

I don't belong here

Not in this atmosphere

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

I don't belong here

Not in this atmosphere

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

 

Started with a kick and a punch

A claw to the face

And I was in the race

I was in the race

Yeah

The Human Race

I'm sick of running

Sick of running

Sick of running

The Human Race

The Human Race

 

I don't belong here

Not in this atmosphere

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

 

I don't belong here

Not in this atmosphere

I don't belong here

Not in this atmosphere

 

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

"Human Race" by Three Days Grace is another song that helps display Hamlet's wantingness to end his life. The lyrics say, "I don't belong here. Not in this atomosphere. Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye". Hamlet does not want to be here, but knows he can not kill himself because if he does, he will go to hell. Another reason why Hamlet will not pull the trigger is because he does not know what will happen next, "The undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns" (Act 3 scene i 87-88).
