We're born with hopeful wonder We're born with tempestuous emotion We try not to get pulled under But get swept up in devotion We get older and chip away Rust in the sinking water Trying to hold onto Maye Always unwillingly slaughter We mutate to an object inhumane Excuse it with "It's in our DNA" Seems like we're all on ******* Have brain damage more every day We **** each other left and right Trying to cope and manage Wrecked brain and no sight We create collateral damage So don't say "I'm only human" Blaming everything except yourself I think it's time you tune in And take the book off the shelf Your eyes are covered by your own hands What is it you fear? It's pathetic and sad You can't see you are your own puppeteer

Humanity, what's that?
We're born with hopeful wonder We're born with tempestuous emotion We try not to get pulled under But get swept up in devotion We get older and chip away Rust in the sinking water Trying to hold onto Maye Always unwillingly slaughter We mutate to an object inhumane Excuse it with "It's in our DNA" Seems like we're all on ******* Have brain damage more every day We **** each other left and right Trying to cope and manage Wrecked brain and no sight We create collateral damage So don't say "I'm only human" Blaming everything except yourself I think it's time you tune in And take the book off the shelf Your eyes are covered by your own hands What is it you fear? It's pathetic and sad You can't see you are your own puppeteer
