Civilized Man

There's a war in the day no peace at night

There's blood on the hands of man yet we don't sympathize

The meateater kills the cows they just depersonalize to justify

Their own lust as the helpless die

And its ironic how we cry for world peace but the violence won't

Decrease unless our murders cease. So understand in the slaughter-

house who's the beast and I demand that the innocent be released

Well I've tried the best I can. I've tried to understand

Civilized man so-called civilized man

Yes I've tried the best I can but who can understand civilzed

Man?

Guilt free so-called morality. Fallacy. The four food groups just

Western medicine quackery

(meat would be) $35 a pound but our taxes subsidize as 35

Starve as we gourmandize

The grains that could feed the world go to their industry to

Fatten up the cattle and I protest

Rain forests once here kiss goodbye the biosphere ozone nightmare

Just see the people don't even care

Well I've tried the best I can. I've tried to understand

Civilized man so-called civilized man

Yes I've tried the best I can but who can understand civilzed

Man?

Guilt free we overlooked the blood and brutality

And the TV propaganda covers heinous reality

A plea to the people of this land to do what they can with hope for a

Civilized man

Well I've tried the best I can. I've tried to understand

Civilized man so-called civilized man

Yes I've tried the best I can but who can understand civilzed

Man?
