Angkor Wat

Circus Of Horrors / Civilized

Angkor Wat


No ... No, no, no! 
I've got something to say and you will listen 
Gonna state my mind, state my position 
Great white hunters, guns to their sides 
Trigger happy bastards gunning for their hides 
The destruction of life to satisfy their pride 
Butchers on the hunt, the ones who kill for pay 
Slaughtering helpless animals after day 
The ones who kill for profit, the pelts that make them rich 
To satisfy the wants of some self-righteous bitch 
Killing of the innocent, the destruction of their lives 
Done nothing wrong, just trying to survive 
Animals are killed solely for their skins 
While we sit back and watch it happen again 
Civilized - that's what we're called 
Civilized - no, not at all 
How can we make such a claim 
When to us killing's game ? 
Bragging at the office about the ones they've killed 
Glowing, thinking about all the blood they've spilled 
See the gleam deep within their eyes 
Satisfied that something has died 
Civilized - that's what we've called 
Civilized - no, not at all 
How can we make such a claim 
When to us killing's game ? 
No - it's got to stop 
When will it end 
Can't turn away 
And sit back 
We call ourselves civilized 
How can we be civilized 
No way we are civilized 
Who dares say we are 
We call ourselves civilized 
How can we be civilized 
No way we are civilized 
Who dares say we are 
No - what have we done ? 
What have we become ? 
Can't believe my eyes 
No, no more lies 
We can't go on the way we have, it's time to turn around 
Because of us all the dead lie scattered across the ground 
We call ourselves civilized 
How can we be civilized 
No way we are civilized 
Who dares say we are ...
