There was a discourse on equality
As mankind stepped in from the cold
When Thales raised his finger to the wind
And Heraclitus broke the mold

Chains of liberty
Mankind's misery

I represent the civil creatures
And I possess the general will
Forever in a state of nature
I'll give my blessing for the kill

Chains of misery
Mortal sovereignty

For all their sad and evil features
The only man-made rule of thumb
For such a sad and lonely creature
Creating nature to succumb
