Fifteen - Perfection lyrics

The brain tends to divide between what's yours and what is mine And what it believes to be wrong and right The brain does not seem to know that we all share the same home And existence is a fact it's not a right The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality Yeah, so what can you do when your fellow man, criminalizes your plan For getting by, and the presence of your body means you've acted Irresponsibly, and you've failed to be born before all the world was taken Yeah, and you got nowhere to call home, on a globe, 22,000 miles around And gravity breeds illegality cause it'll always bring you down On someone else's piece of ground The brain seems to think with enough manipulation The brain could be master of the sea, the land, the sky The poor little brain could not seem to realize That no measure of intelligence could ever improve upon The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality Yeah, we can put a man on the moon, but that won't help us When the ground's too poisoned and there ain't water enough Left to grow our food And rhinoplasty and transplanted hair will keep us s**y As we slowly die from poisons in the air we breathe Yeah, we can build a town in half a day, blow each other all away Go home latter on that day, watch it all on the evening news Despite our age of information, It won't help us without wisdom And all our ingenuity, has only brought us to the brink of Annihilation Technology cannot replace responsibility And 55(m.p.h.) don't justify our own poisoning And progress seems like backwards lies, cause we all started off with paradise So leave your mark on our world by leaving no mark at all(moreno) Maybe it's security Maybe it's simple amibition Maybe it's insanity Maybe it's just good old tradition
