The Misanthrope's Blues

from KT2 by Khan Tengri

/

lyrics

Here comes the arrogant ape
Mother Nature’s fatal mistake

Each group wants the others dead
Atrocities they love to make

They strip the earth of all that’s good
Always too blind to see

Their evil sets my blood to boil
So I’ll let this fire consume me

They clog up the streets
They block out the sky
They cut down the trees
They tunnel in the mines
Somehow they think they own what they find

If the population grows
And the world is clearly finite

Where did all these apes come from?
I know isn’t right

You say I’m no better than you
You say we’re all born the same

But good is good and bad is bad
And I know who to blame!

They clog up the streets
They block out the sky
They cut down the trees
They tunnel in the mines
Somehow they think they own what they find

I wish that I could tell you
The gods of tech will save you

Instead you’ll choke and drown
On chemical fumes and metals

You say that I’m no better than anyone else
But I hate no one more than I hate myself

They’ve gone into space
They’ve put up a flag
They’re just monkeys dressed in divine drag
How many of their own kind have died trying to earn those rags?
