Shame Do You Think God Is Dead Lyrics

Shame Do You Think God Is Dead lyrics

Top rung of the evolutionary ladder 

The most efficient predator in the food chain 

Degrees in agriculture have reduced the ancient hunts 

to sitting in your car at the drive thru at McDonalds 

We control the future but learn nothing from the past 

We annihilate our species from within 



We rape and dig up the earth to claim it as our own 

We kill the creatures that were there first 

so we can build our homes 

We've coated the earth with concrete 

like some cancerous second skin 

Toxic waste buried underground 

while we breed the poison within 



We kill for power - we kill in the name of love 

We kill in jealous anger - we kill in maliciousness 

We kill to defend our freedom 

for the country you hold so dear 

We kill to defend religion 

in the name of the god you fear 

But we even kill our children 



Your god gave you this earth 

to build your cities of steel 

He's granted you higher intelligence 

to build new weapons that kill 

You've built a kingdom of arrogance 

put your god at the throne 

If your god were alive today 

he would hang himself in shame
