Our course is our own, I know we're to blame We're born into shame, to live in despair I feel such pity for what we've become Our needs and desires...our weakness, our pain Our need to fulfil, the urges we feel It weakens our will, it brings us great pain A flood of hatred surges inside Control it, deny it...let it run free I can't run away...I can't hide from myself It is what I am...it is what we are Look around and see...pathetic human beasts We have written our own ending How can we live with ourselves Our jealousy, our tyranny The lives we make, the lives we take The fools we serve, the fools we are Brazen in our final days Our time on top is near on end It's clear to me we'll never change It's clear that I will never change The tragedy of life we live The tragedy of life we'll see We call it human nature The seducer of mankind Our course is our own, I know we're to blame We're born into shame, to live in despair A flood of hatred surges inside Control it, deny it...let it run free I can't run away...I can't hide from myself It is what I am...it is what we are Look around and see...pathetic human beasts We have written our own ending How can we live with ourselves Our jealousy, our tyranny The lives we make, the lives we take The fools we serve, the fools we are
