Pity

I show pity on the human race
On the ignorant plenty who devote their lives
To an icon that they've never knownI show pity on eons past
When a clever man started the first civilization
And human aggression was bornI show pity on the future to come
When the government systems will be omnipotent
And we'll be worse off than we are nowPity, pity
On the billions of ignorant people
Pity, pity
On the masses of aggression
Pity, pity
On the future centuries to comeOn the billions of ignorant people
On the future centuries to come
On the masses of aggressionIt's all a matter of looking at the past
It's all a question, "Are we going to last?"
If we endure the aggression that's inside all of us
We'll wipe out our own species and thus the worldPity, pity
On the masses of aggression
On the billions of ignorant peopleOn the future centuries to come
On the masses of ignorant people
On the future centuries to come
