Shame (Do You Think God Is Dead?)
SHAME (Do You Think God Is Dead?)
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.
