Humans Lyrics

Love bird, you flew into my window
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow
The tree it fell on all the people
Gathered there to watch it toppleNow turn around, it's burning down
The city we live in
Should we mumble lies?
Take them by surprise?
Let them have their way with us?Wounds be by old enemies
Broke my heart to see
Foundations ripped apart
And investments fade away
I guess we got off to a bad startNo oxygen
What is the outcome?
Hungry humans
We've got to enslave themWe'll burn those bridges
When we come to them
I'm not just their leader
I'm also one of themThe food supply has been depleted

The river's ran dry just when it was needed
The rats come out to take it over
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city"It's hard to breathe
But we couldn't leave
Nowhere left to go
Almost everybody died
Drank the tears from those who cried
We shriveled from the sodiumAnd a map was found with an X on it
So we followed it there
And what did we find?
An underground design
As we entered in to our surpriseOxygen
Rivers of playgrounds ?
The ancients just stayed down
They never stopped movingWe stumbled towards them
But they locked all the barn doors
So we had to dig deeper
We had to dig deeperAnd the deep was dark
I wanted to sleep forever
Wake up later, maybe never
We had to build a civilization
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotationWe tried, we tried
We really tried
But no one could do it
Happily alive
Never learned how to survive
We were humans being uselessNo oxygen
What is the outcome?
Hungry humans
We've got to enslave themWe'll burn those bridges
When we come to them
I'm not just their leader
I'm also one of themWe're freed into oblivion
No traces of civilized living eating the earth
We're fading to oblivion
No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
