I think that our kids will probably see
The end of humanity, as we know it
Cause this world's about to blow it
Will they see what they saw in ancient rome
The destruction of the home
Will they see the end of civility?

Cause when morality's been blurred
Procreation seems absurd
And human rights and freedom are just words
That have lost all their meaning
In a world that is bleeding
Like an animal in slaughter
I hope that my daughters never know

What it feels like to give up
To know the whole world is corrupt
To realize they are really on their own
And there's no one left who cares
About the future
Infected cuts don't need a suture
There's a feeling that the human race
Has seen the checkered flag

And the laps that are given
Are the last ones ever driven
And everyone who's still living knows that
It's a shame that the earth
Will live on but can't give birth
To a baby planet
Where we could start over again

We've been divided, we've been bled
Like a chicken without a head
Running frantically amuck
Taking but not giving a fuck

History is just an alibi
It's believing every lie
Man has ever dared to write
It's so much easier to see
That complex reality
A lifetime full of misery and blight

So we tell our daughters and our sons
That they're not the final ones
To see this planet as a decent place to live
We use our telescope
To give them faith, to give them hope
Anything to help them cope
With their future
Cause there's no alternative

Kings and queens rule the land
There's more and more lines drawn in the sand
Pawns are crooks, castles are rooks
It's too bad the good books
Written for the sub-classes
To introduce morality
Had nothing to do with reality
But then again
Who would have ever read them?
We read the par-quran for lunch
Eat old testaments for a snack
And a little lulla-bible before bed

There's no more points of view
When your only thought is food
(it's sad I'm gonna see)
The bible has been replaced
With a survival guide
(the end of history)
That uses perishables instead of parables
Because there's no stories left to preach
(we don't wanna be)
There's no life lessons is left
To teach anyone, why bother?
(the generation z)
Who are we? are we the intellects
Or the insects?
We're not the ones
Who will ever know the answer
(we don't wanna see)
It's impossible for us to imagine
What is right in front of us
(a species you and me)
I guess that's what makes us think we're human
But being human only let's us see
A little farther than animals
(the end of history)
Feel depression from spending
Most of your life working?
(the generation z)
Try chemicals!
Chemicals make everything better
(the end of history)
Hate, love, morality
They're just chemical reactions
(the generation z)
Are we just chemically imbalanced ants
On chemically fueled rants?
(generation z, generation z)
It really just comes down to sex and power
(generation z)
I bet the last man standing
The last human on this planet
(generation z, generation z)
The last person on the earth
Doesn't give a shit
(generation z)
Or has any idea that he
Or most likely she is the last one
(generation z, generation z)

The last person on this planet
Will fuck the dead
And die thinking not about
Why didn't anyone care
But why her life was so unfair
It's time, it needs to be said
I'm sorry to be the one to inform you
But man and woman kind
Has unfortunately been pronounced dead
