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
