Cancer Of The Heart

歌詞

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
