The Gift of Life? Lyrics

Currently over 6 billion people inhabit the planet earth
And with every hour, more than 10,000 people will be born

A gift that should be so precious
Is instead a perverted game of deception & control
Manipulative parents hellbent on success they could not achieve
Greedy corporations to bring them to their knees
A system based on murder to teach them how to kill
A false prophet to suppress their thoughts
To teach them to deny free will
Text books filled with lies to distort their perceptions of reality
Television to rot their brains and fill them with banality

Consumer society to teach that money is success
Date rape f****** culture to teach them the roles of s**
Daddy beats on mommy, thats the way it is
when he gets tired of that, he beats his f****** kids
The gift of life, a precious act indeed
When a child is but a barcoded number in a system based on greed
They need bodies to fill the prison cells
They need bodies to fill the factories
They need bodies to fight in their f****** wars
They need bodies to satisfy their greed

In their eyes a child represents a profit, not a life
A potential customer, a consumer to be used and thrown aside
In their eyes a child represents a profit, not a life
A potential customer, a consumer to be used and thrown aside

?
Consumer society to teach that money is success
Date rape f****** culture to teach them the roles of s**
Daddy beats on mommy, thats the way it is
when he gets tired of that, he beats his f****** kids
The gift of life, a precious act indeed
When a child is but a barcoded number in a system based on greed

We live in a world where people would rather close their eyes
Than ever admit that we're anything but civilized
A cycle of oppression based on rules that they define
Hatred, greed, destruction will we ever see it die?
Is it really our nature to accept being blindly led?
And if that is our future, then the human race is dead.

There is no basis of life in our current state of living
