Inside Job

So here we are squabbling again It's not who we are our ancestor's sins We've come so far yet forget our kin Look to the stars but never within, no So, we're here another day How many more, well who can say? The thing that takes it all away is the one we never saw coming Yet, our prejudice remains, all our pride and our disdain And, in spite of everything, never see the error in our ways So who really is to blame when we never feel the shame? We made the bed and here lay Can't see the rotting for the stains Yet, we play our little games And make our arguments in vain So, for everybody's sake, here is the mirror for the frame So, we're here another day How many more, well who can say? The thing that takes it all away is the one we never saw coming Yet, our prejudice remains: thinly veiled but still retained And we've tried to bleach the stains But it still seeps in through our veins
