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
