about

We have not been here very long and if we stay on the path we are currently on... we won't be here much longer. Yeah, that about sums it up. The video for this one has been up on Youtube for like 11 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs8Iz7yiRtc

lyrics

Brief History of Man ===================
words and music by F. Benjamin 2007
====================================

It's very complicated... the history of humankind
Dreadful yet amusing, staggering like a drunkard

Throughout the sands of time
Psychotic, Neurotic, Obsessive, Ironic
If we were any more uncouncious we'd be catatonic
Something is missing and we can't seem to find it

Hunters and Gatherers, Subdivided in clans
It did not take very long for us to become

A Killer, A Savage, a Blood Thirsty Beast
Hungry for power and control
Willing to sell his soul to sit at the table and join the feast

Won't you tell me please if you know the answer
Don't you think it's time to draw the line
Have we gone to far, walked on Holy ground
Did we spit in your face - could'nt we rebound

On your knees you beg and pleed but there may not be any mercy

The decision is ours yes we hold the futur
in our feeble hands, sorry but I for one

Don't put much faith in mankind
Just take a look at what we have become

It's not very pretty is it
Our love for ourselves and material gain
Prejudice and hatred causing such strain

Mother Nature doesn't get mad she gets even my friend
And I hope you can see that she's at the end of her rope
And she's kicking our asses Earthquake Tsunami Hurricane Thrashes

Wake up smell the discord and sing out the truth
we must come together and stop all this madness or soon
soon...

man will be the next dinosaur with a bunch of small scally creatures gatherd around the
parched bones of some giant "HUMAN" wondering if we were intelligent... well obviously not!
