7 Billion Minds
Humans, humans, humans
Searching for acceptance
In return getting malevolence
Claustrophobic together
Pressing down on each other
Gasping for the air
Needed to survive
Humans, humans, humans
Such silly thoughts they think
So caught up in their selfishness
They even forget to blink
Turning away from reality
More and more each day
Priorities now begin
To slowly fade away
The great manifest destiny
Its lies in full decay
Humans, humans, humans
Unspeakable, unreachable
Love is completely intolerable
Seeking to leave their vanity
Instead on the brink of insanity
Afloat on a current of hate and jealousy
Humans, humans, humans
What will become of us?
