Top rung of the evolutionary ladder
|
The most efficient predator in the food chain
|
Degrees in agriculture have reduced the ancient hunts
|
to sitting in your car at the drive thru at McDonalds
|
We control the future but learn nothing from the past
|
We annihilate our species from within
|
|
We rape and dig up the earth to claim it as our own
|
We kill the creatures that were there first
|
so we can build our homes
|
We've coated the earth with concrete
|
like some cancerous second skin
|
Toxic waste buried underground
|
while we breed the poison within
|
|
We kill for power - we kill in the name of love
|
We kill in jealous anger - we kill in maliciousness
|
We kill to defend our freedom
|
for the country you hold so dear
|
We kill to defend religion
|
in the name of the god you fear
|
But we even kill our children
|
|
Your god gave you this earth
|
to build your cities of steel
|
He's granted you higher intelligence
|
to build new weapons that kill
|
You've built a kingdom of arrogance
|
put your god at the throne
|
If your god were alive today
|
he would hang himself in shame
|
