Our course is our own, I know we're to blame
We're born into shame, to live in despairI feel such pity for what we've become
Our needs and desires...our weakness, our painOur need to fulfil, the urges we feel
It weakens our will, it brings us great painA flood of hatred surges inside
Control it, deny it...let it run freeI can't run away...I can't hide from myself
It is what I am...it is what we areDo you think you are the chose
Do you think you are the few
Look around and see...pathetic human beasts
We have written our own endingHow can we live with ourselves
Our jealousy, our tyranny
The lives we make, the lives we take
The fools we serve, the fools we areBrazen in our final days
Our time on top is near on end
It's clear to me we'll never change
It's clear that I will never change
The tragedy of life we live
The tragedy of life we'll see
We call it human nature
The seducer of mankindOur course is our own, I know we're to blame
We're born into shame, to live in despair
A flood of hatred surges inside
Control it, deny it...let it run freeI can't run away...I can't hide from myself
It is what I am...it is what we are
Look around and see...pathetic human beasts
We have written our own endingHow can we live with ourselves
Our jealousy, our tyranny
The lives we make, the lives we take
The fools we serve, the fools we are
