Human Nature

(álbum: The Mess We've Made - 2020)

We hate our jobs
We hate our neighbors
That's just fucking human nature
We save ourselves
We kill the saviors
That's just fucking human nature

We've seen it all before
Still we can't get enough
Nothing like a rich man's war
To spill a poor man's blood

We're here at last
But no longer awake
Can't learn from the past
If we pretend it's fake

They tell me we're the chosen ones
Why would we be the chosen ones

We hate our jobs
We hate our neighbors
That's just fucking human nature
We save ourselves
We kill the saviors
That's just fucking human nature

We elevate ourselves
To the top of the chain
We celebrate ourselves
While we stake our claims

Such irony
Cannot be denied
We kill each other over
Where we go when we die

They tell me we're the chosen ones
Why would we be the chosen ones

We hate our jobs
We hate our neighbors
That's just fucking human nature
We save ourselves
We kill the saviors
That's just fucking human nature

(They use prejudice as a practical weapon to cripple the nation)
(Of course, that wasn't easy to do, so they had to work hard to do it)
(Somebody's going to get something out of this, and it isn't going to be you)

Hypocrisy takes all shapes and forms
So we only care about people until the minute they're born

They tell me we're the chosen ones
Why would we be the chosen ones

We hate our jobs
We hate our neighbors
That's just fucking human nature
We save ourselves
We kill the saviors
That's just fucking human nature

(A simple yet shocking fact)
(A flood tide of filth is engulfing our country in the form of newsstand obscenity)
(It's threatening to pervert an entire nation of our American children)
