I'd like to tell you Some uncomfortable truths This will now happen Within a few years the elephants are going to die But they're less important to our ecosystem than a fly (Why?) All of our actions are ultimately selfish Even when we help the helpless We're thinking what we can get out of this No need for an apology It's just biology, because we're stronger in a colony And honestly, I can't debate the fact my claims'll be debated I can't overstate the fact I'm underrated I can't stand or understand the fact I'm hated I tried being understated 'til I realised it was overrated Your tablet phone was made by modern day slave labour The world today's arranged to make use chase paper To the grave, spend spend spend, but make sure you save for later Haters are going hate but maybe what they're saying will save you Insane or saviour? Am I a liar, pariah, messiah Or a normal guy with the desire to inquire? I'm adding fuel to fire, I'll draw the ire Either side of the dividing line like a binary multiplier We're all bullied at school, but never did it ourselves That doesn't add up, you were a bully without knowing as well You're guilty of stuff you'd have others thrown in a cell for So look close to home before telling us what we're going to hell for Look at the elephant Look at the fucking elephant The elephant Look at the motherfucking elephant The elephant Look at the fucking elephant The elephant Look at the motherfucking elephant Now, human rights are universal 'Cause they mean nothing unless given the worst of us Regardless of what people do Murderers are people too Who legally you're equal to There's no line between good and evil, dude There's only actions and intentions A result of chemical reactions and events And any ethical infractions that you care to add that are an invention But don't pretend that that's an invitation to act a twat 'Cause you're ingrained with empathy, advanced behaviour Saviour But you have more empathy for people of your own race For those whose skin tone fits that of your own face The capacity's in all of us for genocide It's best to face the demon inside than try to run and hide Nazis were people too If you'd have been in their circumstances The certain chance is you would be one too Paedophiles are people too, that's their sexuality It's not a choice, they're not criminals unless they breach legality And when the age of consent changes internationally Ranging from eight to eighteen then it's a massive leap You may feel uncomfortable, but it's the truth actually Like the fact that you're a walking talking poo factory Look at the elephant Look at the fucking elephant The elephant Look at the motherfucking elephant The elephant Look at the fucking elephant The elephant Look at the motherfucking elephant Within a few years the elephants are going to die But they're less important to our ecosystem than a fly A transexual is genetically their birth gender It's burnt into the embers of their cells like the Earth's centre We can pretend, but in the end, eventually Identity's inconsequential, conscious beings are nonessential Disagree? Eeach piece of meat you eat was borne of suffering Most reasons for eating it recede to nothing when you look at it And similarly with abortion, a significant portion Of the arguments can apply to infants that are already born If you say you refuse to go back to coat hangers Then the NRA could claim the same: "we won't go back to daggers!" You may say it's none of my business as a cishet Brit But I'm not one for indifference, I'm at odds with it It is what it is regardless of whose gob's emitting it So if you've got a problem with listening It's probably the cognitive dissonance kicking in Some of your most deep and strong beliefs are wrong, mine too Read along to the lyrics of this song, you'll probably see the ones To err is human, to forgive divine To redefine what we believe is right is to see behind the scenes And really feel alive To be reminded of the blood, the guts, the bones and the meat inside I really tried but this feeling can't even be described It's too revealing, I can't be surprised we try to keep it hiding At times fear takes over, so like Peter, we deny But the beauty within reason seems it cannot be defied Everyone will compromise their morals for enough money And farts will always, always be funny The elephant Look at the fucking elephant The elephant Look at the motherfucking elephant The elephant Look at the fucking elephant The elephant Look at the motherfucking elephant You are going to die No, really. Listen to me You Are Going To die Now I don't care about advances in cryogenics Or the infinite universe theory You Are Going To die
