Civilized Man - Shelter

There’s a war in the day, no peace at night

There’s blood on the hands of man, yet we don’t symathize

The 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 slaughterhouse who’s the beast

And I demand that the innocent be released

And 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

(meat would be) $ 35 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

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, 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

With hope for a civilized man

And 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?
