Are we not all cannibals
Tearing each other limb from limb
Where the damage we do far out weighs the cost
Me against you, us against them

Are we now all in a war of words
Collateral damage along the way
Nevermind the facts, mangle the truth
Shooting from the hip with shots of hearsay

Have we lost our grip on kindness
Increasingly giving our souls away
Ignorance of this is all but bliss
The thought of revenge is the thought of the day

Are we now all mere animals
Eager to fight ready to bite
Our nature being the only law
Turn a blind eye, sign of the times

Are we not all ourselves at fault
Experts at placing on each other the blame
Excuses are made whenever we're caught
Cannibals above all when given a name
