Well it’s that time again, but nothing drastic’s changed

Our days just tick on by without a change

The fat and lazy public would rather watch things die

Than get up from their armchairs where eventually they’re going to die

It’s the way of the human race

To let their empires crash down in their face

Who’s never seen is never clearly felt

The whales slaughtered, seals cry for help

The tragedy of extinction, of slaughter inhumane

Our senses overloaded by all the world’s pain

So everybody hides their heads

It’s the way of the human race

To let their empires crash down in their face

While they read it in the papers

And they wallow in their garbage pit

Well it’s that time again, but nothing drastic’s changed

Our days just tick on by without a change

The fat and lazy public would rather watch things die

Than get up from their armchairs where eventually they’re going to die

Wellessay

Because

It’s the way of the human race

To let their empires crash down in their face

It’s the way of the human race

To let empires crash down in their face

It’s the way of the human race

It’s the way of the human race

It’s the way of the human race

To lay sitting in their armchairs wallowing in their waste

Until you rot
