Tell Me Is This The Human Race
Too much corruption
Too much destruction
Everyone’s struggling for power
Tell me is this the human race
Too many people crying
Too many people dying
Are we not sacred anymore
Too much hate
Not enough love, what’s it all for
Politicians in the street
Begging for mercy
Too many guns
Too many wars
We’re losing control
Who are we trying to beat
Oceans are sighing
Trees are falling
Animals pay the price
While we consume the Earth
Like throwing the dice
Gambling our lives away
Too much corruption
Too much destruction
Everyone’s struggling for power
Tell me is this the human race
Short time winners
Long term losers
That’s what we are
If we don’t wake up today
And change our ways
Games people play
Wanting it all
Wanting it now
Doesn’t anyone care
Everyone’s too busy to say
Their lining their pockets
The American way
No one cares anymore
For the human race
Don’t you dare fret to say
Life won’t shrivel away
Because you say you have the key
to destiny
Stop the fighting
Stop the destruction
Stop the lying
Stop the corruption
Stop the cheating
stop the beating
What’s it all for
The human race
Has gone astray
Is it in the stars
Or is it in the moon
Are men werewolfs gone mad
Has reason been lost
Animal instincts have taken control
What’s it all for
With the touch of a button
The game of life could go up in smoke
Are we not gluttons
Stop playing the jokes
Life is not a game
The Earth is alive
And we are killing it
People are alive
And we are killing them
What is it all for
Tell me is this the human race
Hearts are bleeding
Children are disappearing
The dark is coming
Brain washing
Tell me what is it for
Governments selling our souls
Not enough education
Too much poison
Religion crumbling
Civilization falling
Who will be the few
To continue to exist
On planets far away
Mankind will continue
Without you and I
Who will be the elite
At the cost of our defeat
Tell me is this the human race
