Cancer Of The Heart |
| There’s a simple diagnosis |
| For this vicious symbiosis |
| Feel the growth of rogue psychosis |
| We’re the cause, we are the cure |
| Across each continent and nation |
| Spread without discrimination |
| We refuse our medication |
| Yet inject the virus pure |
| Father, mother, sister, brother |
| Everyone infects each other |
| Insidious, incestuous love |
| A feeling more akin to hate |
| Vying constantly for power |
| And changing sides with every hour |
| In homes built with machine-gun towers |
| The sights trained on the garden gate |
| Seems we made our greatest error |
| When we named it at the start |
| For though we called it «human nature» |
| It was cancer of the heart |
| To show compassion makes you weak |
| So don’t dare turn the other cheek |
| Try hard to hide the fear you feel |
| With a heart of stone and nerves of steel |
| A naked-ape in the human zoo |
| You amaze me with the things you do |
| I watch your pride before the fall |
| And realise I don’t belong at all |
| We try to leave the past behind us |
| Racing onwards blind and mindless |
| Now the milk of human kindness |
| Won’t serve for one cup of tea |
| We sate the hunger, quench the thirst |
| Then lock our doors, expect the worst |
| Be sure and always do to others first |
| What they could do to thee! |
| It’s the biggest contradiction |
| In terms language could impart |
| Something neither humane nor natural |
| Just cancer of the heart |
| To show compassion makes you weak |
| So don’t dare turn the other cheek |
| Try hard to hide the fear you feel |
| With a heart of stone and nerves of steel |
| A naked-ape in the human zoo |
| You amaze me with the things you do |
| I watch your pride before the fall |
| And realise I don’t belong at all |
| Its replicating culture sprawls |
| When you see red as Rose-Bengal |
| The anti-body's common sense |
| Intolerance it’s best defence |
| Microscopic minds can’t diagnose |
| The cause before the symptom shows |
| A grave threat to the rational health |
| Be your own physician — heal thyself! |
| Seems the biggest contradiction |
| In terms language could impart |
| Something neither humane nor natural |
| Just cancer of the heart |
| To show compassion makes you weak |
| So don’t dare turn the other cheek |
| Try hard to hide the fear you feel |
| With a heart of stone and nerves of steel |
| A naked-ape in the human zoo |
| You amaze me with the things you do |
| I watch your pride before the fall |
| And realise I don’t belong at all |
