Mankind Corrupted



we're already corrupted
how much worse could it get?
we're already over our heads in hypocrisy
so deep we can't even see how blind we are

Vesuveus has already erupted
how much worse can it get?
let nature takes it's course naturally
as if we could stop it, like we can catch a falling star
and put it in our pockets... are you getting this?

Zeus wasn't the first to climb the mountain
Moses wasn't built in a day
Noah wasn't the first sailor to survive a flood
Jesus wasn't the first to pay

everybody's always looked for answers
everyone wants to be excused
everybody's always looked for reasons
except a few wise men and some fools


we're so deeply invested
we couldn't get out if we wanted to
the writing's been on the wall from heirogliphics to graffiti
scholars try to make sense of our insanity

the ice age has already cometh
how much worse can it get?
and rocks have fallen down from the sky
and there's nothing we can do about it if it comes again
except stand our ground or take cover... are you up to it?

Bhudda wasn't the first fat happy man
Krishna wasn't shaved in a day
Mohammed wasn't the first to get a rocky mountain high
and you weren't the first to pay

everybody's always looked for answers
everyone wants to be excused
everybody's always looked for reasons
except a few wise men and some fools


some people build bridges
others sell them
every word has more meanings than we can count
but we'll try to understand and itemize
and categorically quantify everything
as if life can come down to some amount


Isis wasn't the first to enjoy life
Eros didn't come in every day
Confucius wasn't the first to riddle me this
and I am not the first to say
(where's Waldo?)


everybody's always looked for answers
everyone wants to be excused
everybody's always looked for reasons
except a few wise men and some fools
blessed be the fools
