We, humans, are senseless and unthinking We set off nuclear bombs for amusement So fond of debauchery and drinking We **** each other for entertainment We attempt to build buildings to the sky Brick over brick, we don’t stop to ask why Slowly we replace the trees with carbon We are caught up in the devil’s bargain Timidly we roll our dice, fingers crossed; Although the odds are not in our favour We claim to be bright, but our minds are lost We sit and wait, hoping for a saviour We have strapped ourselves to an iron rod Pretending, playing at being a god

The Direction of Humanity
We, humans, are senseless and unthinking We set off nuclear bombs for amusement So fond of debauchery and drinking We **** each other for entertainment We attempt to build buildings to the sky Brick over brick, we don’t stop to ask why Slowly we replace the trees with carbon We are caught up in the devil’s bargain Timidly we roll our dice, fingers crossed; Although the odds are not in our favour We claim to be bright, but our minds are lost We sit and wait, hoping for a saviour We have strapped ourselves to an iron rod Pretending, playing at being a god
