Artist/Band: Human League
Lyrics for Song: Being Boiled
Lyrics for Album: Essential [2011]



Listen to the voice of Buddha

Saying stop your sericulture

Little people like your offspring

Boiled alive for some Gods stocking

Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting



Just because the kid's an orphan

Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying

People don't forget this torture

Just because you call her mother

Doesn't mean that she's your better



Once more with the voice of Buddha

He'll say carry on your slaughter

Who cares for the little children

You may slice with no conviction

Blind revenge on a blameless victim



Listen to the voice of Buddha

Saying stop your sericulture

He'll say carry on your slaughter

Who cares for the little children

You may slice with no conviction

Blind revenge on a blameless victim



Listen to the voice of Buddha

Listen to the voice of Buddha

Listen to the voice of Buddha


Being Boiled

Being Boiled stands as a defining track from the Human League's early synth-pop era, showcasing the band's ability to blend robotic detachment with urgent, driving rhythms. Released during a period of significant experimentation, the recording captures the group's transition toward the polished, electronic sound that would later dominate their discography. The song's distinctive production features sharp, mechanical beats and a soaring melodic line that contrasts with the darker, industrial undertones often found in their work. As a key song in their catalogue, it highlights the band's innovative approach to synthesizer textures and their capacity to create memorable hooks within the new wave genre. This track remains an essential listen for understanding the evolution of the Human League's signature style and their lasting impact on electronic music history.
