Civilized Man

There's a war in the day no peace at nightThere's blood on the hands of man yet we don't symathizeThe meateater kills the cows they just depersonalize to justifyTheir own lust as the helpless dieAnd it's ironic how we cry for world peaceBut the violence won't decrease unless our murders ceaseSo understand in the slaughter-house who's the beastAnd I demand that the innocent be releasedWell I've tried the best I canI've tried to understandCivilized man so-called civilized manYes I've tried the best I canBut who can understandCivilized man?Guilt free so-called moralityFallacyThe 4 foods group just western medicine quackery(meat would be) $35 a pound but our taxes subsidizeAs 35 million starve as we gormandizeThe grains that could feed the world go to their industryTo fatten up the catle for death and I protestRain forests once here kiss goodbye the biosphere ozone nightmareJust see the people don't even care!Guilt free we overlooked the blood and brutalityAnd the TV propaganda covers heinous realityA plea to the people of this land to doWhat they can with hope for a civilized man
