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
