Humanmade Thing

Heaven, help us
We invented Heaven
We need a promise
We need some reprieve
The world upon us
We built a world that crushes
The world without us
will need some healing

Oh no, another death, another born
Oh no, the wheel keeps spinning on

I feel crazy
I feel outside of myself
This lethal tally
is growing up and out
It's just amazing
how the truth got shut out
And oh, the ratings:
"You better watch your stupid mouth"

Oh no, another death, another born
Oh no, the wheel keeps spinning on
Oh no, another death, another born
Oh no, the wheel keeps spinning on

Every time I get frustrated
I turn my face away from it
but the dread, it draws me back
I am one believes in people
I am one who needs to keep
the faith that we are worth saving

Where are the saviors?
Is there a grownup around?
Mosquito nation:
We're drawing blood from the ground
(Humanmade thing)
Feel like an island
Piranha circling round
Beating a drum but
not a soul hears the sound

Oh no, another death, another born
(Humanmade thing)
Oh no, the wheel keeps spinning on
(It's an assembly line)
Oh no, another death, another born
(Humanmade thing)
Oh no, the wheel keeps spinning on
(It's an assembly line)

Every time I get frustrated,
I turn my face away from it
(Humanmade thing)
but the dread, it draws me back
(it's as assembly line)
I am one believes in people
(Humanmade thing)
I am one who needs to keep
the faith that we are worth saving
(It's an assembly line)

I don't wanna wait
with my arms over my head
(This is not a drill)
My mother was taught to crouch
like a bug under her desk
(Repeat: This is not a drill)
And while the leaders
like to play Musical Chairs
(This is not a drill)
eventually the music stops
and no one's there
(Repeat: This is not a drill)

Every time I get frustrated,
I turn my face away from it
(Humanmade thing)
but the dread,
it draws me back
(It's as assembly line)
I am one believes in people
(Humanmade thing)
I am one who needs to keep
the faith that we are worth saving
(It's an assembly line)
