Brutal Planet

Lyrics

We're spinning round on this ball of hate  
There's no parole, there's no great escape  
We're sentenced here until the end of days  
And then my brother there's a price to pay  
  
We're only human, we were born to die  
Without the benefit of reason why  
We live for pleasure to be satisfied  
And now it's over there's no place to hide  
  
Why don't you, come down to  
It's such a brutal planet  
It's such an ugly world  
Why won't you, come down to  
  
"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)  
"It's just like paradise" (For your eyes)  
"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)  
"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)  
  
It's such a brutal planet  
It's such a living hell  
It was a holy garden  
That's right where Adam fell  
It's where the bite was taken  
It's where we chose to sin  
It's where we first were naked  
This is where our death begins  
  
We took advice from that deceiving snake  
He said "don't worry it's a piece of cake"  
And sent us swimming in a burning lake  
Now we're abandoned here for heaven's sake  
  
Why don't you, come down to  
It's such a brutal planet  
It's such an ugly world  
Why won't you, come down to  
  
"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)  
"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)  
"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)  
"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)  
  
Here's where we keep the armies  
Here's where we write their names  
Here's where the money god is  
Here's our famous hall of shame  
Here's where we starve the hungry  
Here's where we cheat the poor  
Here's where we beat the children  
Here is where we pay the whores  
  
Why don't you, come down to  
It's such a brutal planet  
It's such an ugly world  
Why won't you, come down to  
  
"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)  
"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)  
"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)  
"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)  
  
Right here we stoned the prophets  
Built idols out of mud  
Right here we fed the lions  
Christian flesh and Christian blood  
Down here is where we hung him  
Upon an ugly cross  
Over there we filled the ovens  
Right here the holocaust
