Let's set aside for a moment The idealogical connotations of the debate And take a minute to reflect and acknowledge Our true nature seems no different than amoebae And I contemplate, ambivalently, over humanity's behaviour The strides and turns throughout our fraught history And how we tend to out – complete the very things we depend upon [Chorus:] Swept away – even as our surroundings succumb we cannot find a way out Procreate – a higher purpose is a figment of our imagination Sex – the very things that all sentient life-forms share The basic premise for species' continuation Funny how it makes us cast aside our attributes of rational thinking Added irony, our basic urge to disseminate our genes Turns out to be our most destructive weapon The quintessential program which we are all equipped is a double edged sword [Chorus:] Swept away – even as our surroundings succumb we cannot find a way out Procreate – a higher purpose is a figment of our imagination [x2] Our evolution is interdependency by design Or is it disparity with impunity? Swept away… [Chorus:] Swept away – even as our surroundings succumb we cannot find a way out Procreate – a higher purpose is a figment of our imagination And we assume nothing, nothing of this world Still believe there's an intelligent force behind our existence?
