People (And the Things We Do)

People and the thing we do
to satisfy the urges we're all raised into
winning is all but what is actually the race?
it doesn't realy matter, we don't want to lose pace
people always want to take lead
people taking care of individual needs
people in word and deed
people doing anything to fulfil our greed
the bigger the better and the biggest the best
do it for yourself and let the others do the rest
collect the collectable until we have it all
exploit and make the most of it before we fall
envy - the instinct - precedes the impulse
and we easily get eager when our good friend sin calls
you can't save the world all alone you see
so let your ego take care of you undiscriminately
People and the thing we do

People and the thing we have done
in our ikaros flight on course towards the sun
words seem to come easy so the acting is lost
a remedy we need but we won't take the cost
the mags tell us politically correct is out of style today
it's hard to do it right when what you say is a cliche
thus human is a word losing its sense
'cus we'll never be regarded righteous under the lens
people don't really want to share
people defining fair is fair!!!
people can't find time and place for care
people do it all but loving we don't dare
loving the kin isn't love unbound
that's why love as a paradigm is not to be found
so all people and the things we will do
let it be love and let it be true!!!!!!
us and them used to sum up to we
"i'll get there quicker on my own, i want to stay me"
individual acting to become the superior
obviously so that the next gets inferior
people with a free will and mind
people thus choose to let their ego stay blind
people find it easy to leave others behind
people "don't touch it, it's mine!!!"
