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 symathize The meateater kills the cows they just depersonalize to justify Their own lust as the helpless die And it's 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 Civilized man? Guilt free so-called morality, fallacy The 4 foods group just western medicine quackery (meat would be) $35 a pound but our taxes subsidize As 35 million starve as we gormandize The grains that could feed the world go to their industry To fatten up the catle for death 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 Civilized 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
