[Verse 1]

At some point the human race collectively decided

That unnecessary confrontation was an essential part of existence

And another we concluded

That the difficult child was the one who didn′t listen

Out of some fear

That such a kid might grow up to be a thief or a nutter

Prey became easy so we preyed on each other


[Verse 2]

Civilisation becomes façade of rule makers and rule followers

A front to tuck away thе animal and the killer and the soldiеr

And we choose to turn men into slugs

And abandon some instinct

But ignore the possibility of a woman who thinks


[Verse 3]

The Homo Sapien stands as an evolutionary masterpiece

As it ravages and bites with a pen and a paper sheet

Now it sniggers and slobs with a laptop and keys

Before it indulges in hair products and television screens


[Verse 4]

The hunter packs a belly over tight jeans

The hunter goes from buffalo to spiking girls in parties

The human race designed morality as a means to run its course

And designated decision making therefore

To a group of greedy bastards

Who relish from the matrix of less and more

We make the gravest of decisions when we're never really sure
