Civilized Man

There's a war in the day no peace at night
Well there's blood on the hands of man yet we don't sympathize, meateater kills the cows they just depersonalize to justify their own lust as the helpless die
And it's ironic how we cry for world peace
But the violence won't decrease unless our murders cease
So understand in the slaughter-house who's the beast
And I demand that the innocent be released
Well I've tried the best I can

I've tried to understand
Civilized man so-called civilized man
And I've tried the best I can
But who can understand

Civilized man?
So called, so called, so called
Guilt free so-called morality fallacy
The 4 foods group just western medicine quackery
35 dollars a pound but our taxes subsidize as 35 million starve as we gormandize
The grains that could feed the world go to their industry
To fatten up the catle for death and I protest
Rain forests once here kiss goodbye the biosphere ozone nightmare

Just see the people don't even care!
And I've tried the best I can
But try can understand
Civilized man?

So called civilized man?
And I've tried the best I can
But try can understand
Civilized man?

So called, so called, so called
Guilt free we overlooked the blood and brutality
And the tv propaganda covers heinous reality
A plea to the people of this land to do
What they can, in hopes, in hopes of a civilized man
And I try the best I can
I try to understand
Civilized man?
So called civilized man?
And I've tried the best I can
But who can understand
You try to understand, try to understand, try to understand
