Letra de Perfection

The brain tends to divide
Between what's yours and what is mine
What it believes to be wrong and right
The brain does not seem to know
That we all share the same home
And existence is a fact, it's not a right
The land is the land
The sky is the sky
The water belongs to all of us
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother
With fences and borders
And obsessive thinking of proving our individuality
Yeah
So what can you do when your fellow man
Criminalizes your plans for getting by
And the presence of your body
Means you've acted Irresponsibly?
You've failed to be born before all the world was taken
Yeah
And you've got nowhere to call home
On a globe twenty-two thousand miles around
And gravity breeds illegality
'Cause it'll always bring you down
On somebody else's piece of ground
The brain seems to think, with enough manipulation
The brain could be master of the sea, the land, the skies
The poor little brain could not seem to realize
That no measure of intelligence could ever improve upon perfection
The land is the land
The sky is the sky
The water belongs to all of us
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother
With fences and borders
And obsessive thinking of proving our individuality
Yeah
Put a man on the moon, but that won't save us
When the ground's too poisoned
And there ain't water enough left to grow our food
And liposuction and transplanted hair will keep us sexy
As we slowly die from poison in the air that we breathe
Yeah
We can build a town in half a day
Blow each other all away
Go home later on that day
Watch it all on the evening news
Despite our age of information
Won't help us without wisdom
And all our ingenuity has only brought us to the brink of annihilation
Annihilation
Technology cannot replace responsibility
And fifty-five don't justify our own poisoning
And progress seems like backwards lies
'Cause we all started off with paradise
So leave your mark on our world by leaving no mark at all
Maybe it's security
Maybe it's simple ambition
Maybe it's insanity
Maybe it's just good old tradition
