Wasted

There's something wrong with people
it's fundamentally
a power-hungry, sociopathic, maladjusted breed

a scene of massacre enfolds before our eyes
a mass-destruction of apocalyptic size
it's a neverending slaughter that controls our destiny
a mental disorder making us to blind to see

so why do we try to erase our own species
as if there's nothing better to do
we are just some other wasted primordial ooze

and so another acre of rainforest falls
along with it a thousand species are forever lost
we feed upon this planet with insatiable greed
not realising it's not wise to bite the hand that feeds

we own this place and we'll do as we please
'cause we are the masters of the universe
but actually, objectively
we are more like a disease

so here we are, the pinnacle of creation
we rule with dictatorial impunity

but why do we try to wipe out all species
we seem to be missing some screws
we are just some other wasted primordial ooze

insanity has caused a total loss of perspective
for we are all just dustpecks in this universal collective
the illusion of control we create within our minds
is just as insignificant as the fate of humankind

so let somebody else take over
we fucked up real good
we are just some other wasted primordial ooze
