we think we've come far
from the caves of Altamira
we've seen such sites
many thousands of nights

we use utensils to eat our meat
and wear shoes upon our feet
we kill more than they could
we've been so misunderstood

look at how we've helped mankind
and taught him to be so refined
he apologizes for collateral damage
but continues on his rampage

how far have we come
from Eden to Mars
from the trees to the stars
what have we learned

as we stretch the bounds
and push the envelope
till we find ourselves
at the end of our rope

still our ego says go
and our minds say so
reach for that bell
till we end up in hell
