Contravene - The Gift Of Life? lyrics

The Gift of Life? Currently over 6 billion people inhabit the planet earth and with every hour, more than 10,000 people will be born A gift that should be so precious is instead a perverted game of deception & control Manipulative parents hellbent on success they could not achieve Greedy corporations to bring them to their knees A system based on murder to teach them how to k** A false prophet to suppress their thoughts to teach them to deny free will Text books filled with lies to distort their perceptions of reality Television to rot their brains and fill them with ban*lity Consumer society to teach that money is success Date rape f**ing culture to teach them the roles of s** Daddy beats on mommy, thats the way it is when he gets tired of that, he beats his f**ing kids The gift of life, a precious act indeed, when a child is but a barcoded number in a system based on greed They need bodies to fill the prison cells They need bodies to fill the factories They need bodies to fight in their f**ing wars They need bodies to satisfy their greed In their eyes a child represents a profit, not a life A potential customer, a consumer to be used and thrown aside We live in a world where people would rather close their eyes than ever admit that we're anything but civilized A cycle of oppression based on rules that they define Hatred, greed, destruction: will we ever see it die? Is it really our nature to accept being blindly led? And if that is our future, then the human race is dead. There is no basis of life in our current state of living.
