At first, there was no one to meddle
Just the wind to help us settle
We were drinking from the heavens
Digging down into the earth
We were thriving undisturbed
Then there arose those intent on moving
And like a miracle, they kept improving
Then change begat the tail
Begat the fin begat the fist
Strength enough to subsist
Something changed in them
When they heard "I am."
Our unbroken pact
Was now illusory
So still we have to be
While waiting endlessly
For what is unforeseen
Time passed and they continued growing
In the vacuum of their unknowing
Slowly they were changing
Taking much more than they need
Envy, the perfect seed
Something changed in them
When they heard "I am."
Our unbroken pact
Was now illusory
So still we have to be
While waiting endlessly
For what is unforeseen
The fist begets the stick
And the stick begets the blade
And the blade begets the bullet
And the bullet begets the bomb
Well, no worries, just laughter
'Cause we'll be here after
No worries, just laughter
'Cause we'll be here after
No worries, just laughter
We'll be here after
No worries, just laughter
We'll be here after
(It might hurt, but they'll go away)
No worries, just laughter
We'll be here after
(It might hurt, but they'll go away)
No worries, just laughter
We'll be here after
