Civilize the universe

Bombs exploding, and tears are flowing,
Chasing rockets and gasping for air.
They can call it justice or retribution,
Yet the reasons are never clear.

Freedom is just man's invention,
And a soldier is just a slave.
Self inflicted, so addicted,
Bad habits are hard to break.

I'm alive.
Watching better turn to worse.
(Watching better turn to worse)
One more time.
Try to civilize the Universe.
(Civilize the Universe).

Without the righteous, without the faithful,
We would never accept the obscene.
A false confession, a priest's obsession
Gives the demon a light to be seen.
Burn the witch and hang deserters, I'm alive.
Watching better turn to worse.
(Watching better turn to worse)
One more time.
Try to civilize the Universe.
(Civilize the Universe).

There's only one choice to be made.
We're thought restricted,
And heart afflicted, and herd afflicted
The truth is so hard to take.

The righteous and the faithful,
Give the deaf man to the blind.
The world full of confusion,
From a disease of the mind.

I'm alive.
Watching better turn to worse.
(Watching better turn to worse)
One more time.
Try to civilize the Universe.
(Civilize the Universe).

I'm alive.
Watching better turn to worse.
(Watching better turn to worse)
One more time.
Try to civilize the Universe.
(Civilize the Universe).

Try to civilize the Universe.
