Our course is our own, I know we're to blame

We're born into shame, to live in despair



I feel such pity for what we've become

Our needs and desires...our weakness, our pain



Our need to fulfil, the urges we feel

It weakens our will, it brings us great pain



A flood of hatred surges inside

Control it, deny it...let it run free



I can't run away...I can't hide from myself

It is what I am...it is what we are



Do you think you are the chose

Do you think you are the few

Look around and see...pathetic human beasts

We have written our own ending



How can we live with ourselves

Our jealousy, our tyranny

The lives we make, the lives we take

The fools we serve, the fools we are



Brazen in our final days

Our time on top is near on end

It's clear to me we'll never change

It's clear that I will never change

The tragedy of life we live

The tragedy of life we'll see

We call it human nature

The seducer of mankind



Our course is our own, I know we're to blame

We're born into shame, to live in despair

A flood of hatred surges inside

Control it, deny it...let it run free



I can't run away...I can't hide from myself

It is what I am...it is what we are

Look around and see...pathetic human beasts

We have written our own ending



How can we live with ourselves

Our jealousy, our tyranny

The lives we make, the lives we take

The fools we serve, the fools we are
