Humanity Auf wiedersehen It's time to say goodbye The party's over As the laughter dies An angel cries Humanity It's au revoir to your insanity You sold your soul to feed your vanity Your fantasies and lies You're a drop in the rain Just a number not a name And you don't see it You don't believe it At the end of the day You're a needle in the hay You signed and sealed it And now you gotta deal with it Humanity Humanity Goodbye Goodbye Be on your way Adios amigo there's a price to pay For all the egotistic games you played The world you made Is gone You're a drop in the rain Just a number not a name And you don't see it You don't believe it At the end of the day You're a needle in the hay You signed and sealed it And now you gotta deal with it Humanity Humanity Goodbye Goodbye Run and hide there's fire in the sky Stay inside The water's gonna rise and pull you under In your eyes I'm staring at the end of time Nothing can change us No one can save us from ourselves You're a drop in the rain Just a number not a name And you don't see it You don't believe it At the end of the day You're a needle in the hay You signed and sealed it Now you gotta deal with it Humanity Humanity Humanity Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
