Human Nature

[Chorus]
Writing, writing, writing
On the wall igniting, ‘niting, ‘niting
Vitriol and suffer, suffer, suffer
Scared to see the clutter, clutter, clutter
And we're always fighting, fighting, fighting
Teeth are always biting, biting, biting
Circling like vultures, vultures, vultures
Do we learn from culture, culture
Or is it human nature?

[Verse 1]
We say to be loving
But we're not really lovely
We say that we're better than before
But what are we wanting?
The salary figures
While prisons grow bigger
What are we really standing for
When we're pulling triggers?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why do we stand behind our convenient ideals?
If we're gonna make some ground
We gotta know what we're about, I wanna be real
It's a shame we let politicians lie and steal
Inequality around
But ain't nobody making sound

[Chorus]
Writing, writing, writing
On the wall igniting, ‘niting, ‘niting
Vitriol and suffer, suffer, suffer
Scared to see the clutter, clutter, clutter
And we're always fighting, fighting, fighting
Teeth are always biting, biting, biting
Circling like vultures, vultures, vultures
Do we learn from culture, culture
Or is it human nature?

[Verse 2]
A 36 month lease
Unemployment increase
Why is greed inside our hearts that bleed?
Manifest destiny
We need some more oil
So we go to war yo
I'm not tryna preach
But step back and see
Well now I guess I've bored you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We say in God we trust but they can't trust in us
I see little boys and girls
With no hope in a better world, in a world of love
Missions round the globe but there's hidden agenda
Inequality around
But ain't nobody making sound

[Chorus]
Writing, writing, writing
On the wall igniting, ‘niting, ‘niting
Vitriol and suffer, suffer, suffer
Scared to see the clutter, clutter, clutter
And we're always fighting, fighting, fighting
Teeth are always biting, biting, biting
Circling like vultures, vultures, vultures
Do we learn from culture, culture
Or is it human nature?

[Outro]
It's a shame we let politicians lie and steal
Why do we stand behind our convenient ideals?
Missions round the globe but there's hidden agenda
We say in God we trust but they can't trust in us
(Used to know you in another life…in another life)
