| There’s a simple diagnosis
|
| For this vicious symbiosis
|
| Feel the growth of rogue psychosis
|
| We’re the cause, we are the cure
|
| Across each continent and nation
|
| Spread without discrimination
|
| We refuse our medication
|
| Yet inject the virus pure
|
| Father, mother, sister, brother
|
| Everyone infects each other
|
| Insidious, incestuous love
|
| A feeling more akin to hate
|
| Vying constantly for power
|
| And changing sides with every hour
|
| In homes built with machine-gun towers
|
| The sights trained on the garden gate
|
| Seems we made our greatest error
|
| When we named it at the start
|
| For though we called it «human nature»
|
| It was cancer of the heart
|
| To show compassion makes you weak
|
| So don’t dare turn the other cheek
|
| Try hard to hide the fear you feel
|
| With a heart of stone and nerves of steel
|
| A naked-ape in the human zoo
|
| You amaze me with the things you do
|
| I watch your pride before the fall
|
| And realise I don’t belong at all
|
| We try to leave the past behind us
|
| Racing onwards blind and mindless
|
| Now the milk of human kindness
|
| Won’t serve for one cup of tea
|
| We sate the hunger, quench the thirst
|
| Then lock our doors, expect the worst
|
| Be sure and always do to others first
|
| What they could do to thee!
|
| It’s the biggest contradiction
|
| In terms language could impart
|
| Something neither humane nor natural
|
| Just cancer of the heart
|
| To show compassion makes you weak
|
| So don’t dare turn the other cheek
|
| Try hard to hide the fear you feel
|
| With a heart of stone and nerves of steel
|
| A naked-ape in the human zoo
|
| You amaze me with the things you do
|
| I watch your pride before the fall
|
| And realise I don’t belong at all
|
| Its replicating culture sprawls
|
| When you see red as Rose-Bengal
|
| The anti-body's common sense
|
| Intolerance it’s best defence
|
| Microscopic minds can’t diagnose
|
| The cause before the symptom shows
|
| A grave threat to the rational health
|
| Be your own physician — heal thyself!
|
| Seems the biggest contradiction
|
| In terms language could impart
|
| Something neither humane nor natural
|
