Scars of Mankind Still Weep

They built a shrine to power and yes it cost the Earth They've had our lives planned from the moment of our birth They gave us all our daily shit, force fed by church and school They punished and humiliated if we broke their rules They gave us a religion, a god to trust and obey They fed us with their bullshit, every fucking day They gave us opportunities, to make our place in society They gave us a welfare state, a false sense of security They gave us all a prison, to lock away those who fall They gave us all a home for safety in four walls They gave us television to comfort and sedate They gave us all no reason to defy this fucking state They gave us nuclear weapons to protect our fair green land They fed us all lies from their ever grabbing hands They outlawed all our protesters, they can't allow a riot They gave us all an army to protect their state and wealth They gave us a health service to protect our health They take all they can from us then throw us on the heap They retire you at sixty-five, when you're too old and weak They take every shred of dignity you've ever achieved They trick us all like card sharks, an ace up every sleeve They are the system, we're puppets from birth to death They'll build a shrine to nothing when they've destroyed the Earth

Sounds of nature drowned by the machine Destroying the countryside for a money making scheme Animals run in terror from mankind's stinking hand And the progress machine tears apart the land World wide destruction, more species extinct Mankind will you ever stop to think Our forests die, the air now foul But an end to the slaughter, they'll never allow Allow non human life, not allowed to be free Slaughtered and packaged for man to eat Animals are sentient, not mankind's to kill For food, for progress or just for the thrill Pollution rises, disease on the rise Once conquered, now back to plague mankind Our downfall is coming, this we all know Stop attacking the planet, we have nowhere else to go

Raped of any dignity, a beggers life you led In a society that's devoid of the basic human need An ever vicious circle, a fine that's fueled and fed Trying to grab a slice of life 'cause you're a long time fucking dead They pick us up then throw us down Humiliate and intimidate, kick us to the ground Hatred feeds on hatred a stigma's hard to shake Classified a loser by the greedy on the make A downtrodden existence to keep you in your place A fucking state persistence they're never of your case
