Bombs exploding and tears are flowing   Chasing rockets and gasping for air   You can call it justice or retribution   Yet the reasons are never clear      Freedom is just man's invention   And a soldier is just a slave   Self inflicted, so addicted   Bad habits are hard to break      I'm alive   Watching better turn to worse   One more time   Try to civilize the universe      Without the righteous, without the faithful   We would never accept the obscene   A false confession, a priest's obsession   Gives the demon a light to be seen      Burn the witch and hang deserters   There's only one choice to be made   We're thought restricted and herd afflicted   The truth is so hard to take      I'm alive   Watching better turn to worse   One more time   Try to civilize the universe      The righteous and the faithful   Give the deaf man to the blind   The world full of confusion   From a disease of the mind      I'm alive   Watching better turn to worse   One more time   Try to civilize the universe      I'm alive   Watching better turn to worse   One more time   Try to civilize the universe   Try to civilize the universe
