Lyrics

Are we alone here in the universe? I don't know.
But if we're not, what do they think of us?
Are they looking down on us and laughing?
Are they waiting, hoping to take over?

What do we know?
What did we learn?
Where will we go?
How could we know?

We have so much we should be proud of,
We've eliminated multiple diseases with technologies
And still, we blame the have nots for solutions, that they can not hope to access.

We have so much talent, expertise at our disposal
We've got scientists and artists and a million visionaries
But the money's thrown at people to control, manipulate and deceive.
And fame's a drug that's easy to achieve.
Everybody's got a camera.
Set up an account and demonstrate some bad behaviour.
Surgeries and love affairs, why can't we turn off the TV?

What do we know?
What did we learn?
Where will we go?
How could we know?

We were born barbarians, pretending to be civilized.
We can all be friendly til someone upsets our ways,
Then we find a knife, a gun, a baseball bat,
To teach the validity of our opinion.

What do we know?
What did we learn?
Where will we go?
How could we know?
