After Me, The Flood

    Continues after the ad

    "Greed has poisoned men's souls
    Has barricaded the world with hate
    Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
    We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in
    Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want
    Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness, hard and unkind
    We think too much and feel too little
    More than machinery, we need humanity
    More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness
    Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost
    The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together
    The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men
    Cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world"

    A crack in the surface of humanity
    Is crumbling the ground below me
    What I'm seeing can't be real
    What I'm seeing can't be real

    An unbelievable hoard of corruption
    In a place we call secure
    What the fuck have we come to?

    Ripping at each other's throats
    The biting of tongues
    Are making our mouths bleed
    No one is coming to save us from ourselves

    Continues after the ad

    This is a never ending cycle
    We will continue to run in circles

    Careless ignorance
    Careless ignorance
    Where has the conscience mind gone?

    Slowly we sink
    Civilization drowns
    Slowly we sink
    Civilization drowns

    Ow

    This world is not our home
    This world is not our home

    Disappointed people
    Won't go empty handed
    Disappointed people
    Won't go empty handed

    Here lies humanity
    It ended in selfishness
    Here lies humanity
    It ended in selfishness
