Human Nature

There's an old man standing on the
Concrete floor below the almighty empire
Slowly hesitates to scream
Somebody stop this war before I lay to rest my
Only son, my only love
I did hate to watch him go
But this was family tradition

This is human nature
Evolutions design
We send our sons to war

And there's a woman screaming for equal rights
She'd been a slave all her life
Talks of revolution
All in hopes of changing peoples minds
Her seven sons died in Vietnam Nam
She did hate to watch them go
But this was family tradition

We look down upon the poor people
With no concern for their suffering
Down upon the poor people
Aren't they allowed to breathe?
Aren't they allowed to be free?
