Letra de Death and Hatred to Mankind

Bird flying in the sky
We think of it as free
But it doesn’t see it that way
When we keep cutting down the trees
It doesn’t want to build a nest
Or to bother laying eggs
Because the future is coming quickly
And this world’s a dying place
We love it when they sing to us
We think it sounds so sweet
But we wouldn’t love it quite so much
If we knew what they were singing
They’re singing:
Death and hatred to mankind
Death and hatred to mankind
The pandas in the zoo
So beautiful and cute
We’re doing all we can do
To make sure that they survive
Even though we know
They’ve got no place to go
We keep them behind bars
We will keep them alive
When the baby is born
The mother bear lies calling to its cub
We think it’s sounds of love
Or maybe she’s just thanking us
But she’s whispering
Death and hatred to mankind
Death and hatred to mankind
We drive by the fields
With the cows up on the hills
Our children imitate the noises they make
And they ask us what they mean
We say they don’t mean a thing my son
Those animals are dumb
They’re just making noises
They’re only here for us
And not that far away
They take a baby from its mother
She cries out in pain
But the men don’t understand her
She’s singing:
Death and hatred to mankind
Death and hatred to mankind
When the wind blows through the trees
It shakes all of the leaves
It’s trying to tell us something
But we’re not listening
When the waves crash on the beach
They make a mighty roar
It’s screaming in our faces
Wasted words that we ignore
‘Cause we stopped listening
On the day we all agreed
That this whole world
Was made for you and me
Now lying on the grass
Looking up at the sky
Listening to the crickets
Play their songs for us all night
*cricket sounds*
But they’re singing:
Death and hatred to mankind
Death and hatred to mankind
