We dragged ourselves out of the garden and struggled through the cold
All danger, toil and opposition we conquered and behold!
We built up Jericho and empires with labour, guts and war
Then housed our public into buildings and slept inside their doors
And that's our state of mind, we're stepping over bodies all the time
Rather than to stare at it we'll be blind, s** it up and look away
We struggle and we strive, we drink and then we drive
We get on with the show and walk out the door because we all know
They'll be no hell below. Jericho
And I can't see heaven and even if I could I doubt we'd get in
If there's an honest man then I've not met him
We better get a way to start repenting
Or better yet a way to start again I swear to you
We left our cousins in the jungle and triumphed from afar
Sometimes we put them into cages and laugh how wild they are
Under the neon lights we pa**ed them, the creatures screamed and brawled
His head was smashed upon the concrete, I didn't flinch at all
You seem surprised our race survived
You'd almost call us civilized
Our cities thrived on this state of mind
There's no hell below just Jericho
