CIVILIZED WORLD  
words & melody by Tes. ©2000 

What are we doing?  We’re killing eachother!  We’re brother ‘gainst brother!
Will this madness never cease?
How many cries and how many more lives ‘fore we all realize 
That we all can live in peace?


Polished and educated.  Wholly sophisticated.  
Human rights, violated…“Pass the butter, please!’
One more deal consummated.  One more “fat cat” placated.  
One more race terminated… What is this disease??


I’m drawin’ a line and I’m claimin’ what’s mine, so you’d best read the sign –
Seems “your kind’s” been dismissed.
The rules here are clear – if you’re “different” or “queer” better shrink back in fear
‘Cause you’re next on the list!


In a Turn-of-the-Century, Modern Society...Terribly “Civilzed” World



The “Almighty Buck” means we don’t give a “%#@!”
And you’re “&#@!” out of luck if you’re on the “other” side…
Our nation’s spend more on the weapons of war than on aiding the poor –
And pretend they’re justified!


Clever and calculated.  Fiscally motivated.
Scruples, obliterated.  Where did we go wrong? ??
Purposely instigated.  Racially segregated.
Tensions exacerbated.  Still the same old song!

We’re fanning the flames and we’re playing the games

Though we mustn’t name names, or we’re branded “uncouth”
The trick to be sure when you’re spreading manure –
Choose a victim du jour and then brainwash the youth…

Is this the sort of place you want to bring your child into???


In a Turn-of-the-Century, Modern Society… Terribly “Civilized” World

There’s enough here for all – there’s no energy drain!
Mother Earth would not birth what she could not sustain!!

Am I missing something?  Would someone explain?

How a “civilized world” could be so inhumane??

What are we doing – we’re killing each other
 
As brother ‘gainst brother betray one another
Divided by labels, we’re Caines and we’re Abels
Condoning behavior in the name of some Saviour
The Final Solution? A mass execution of every subhuman
Deranged homosexual.  Strange intellectual.
Sinti and Roma and Priest and Jehovah
The Poles and the Greeks – how ‘bout cripples and geeks?
And then just to amuse…
Wipe out Six Million Jews!!

In a Turn-of-the-Century, Modern Society… Terribly “Civilized” World!!
