Primitive Thinking for Alternative Thinking
guitar chords lyrics
What separates man from animal?
Man from primate?
What makes us worthy of being.
What defines us as a human being?
The ability to reason?
It's clear to me that we have this idea of separation.
It is also apparent to me that
we are not the ones thinking clearly.
So I'll ask again.
What separates man from animal?
Man from primate?
The apposable thumb?
When it's clear to me
that we are absolutely dumb?
Well what is reason?
When it's clear to me
that we are absolutely dumb?
Well what is reason?
What is thinking clearly?
Lets take a step back and look at clear thought.
And find out exactly what's
our purpose and where is our place.
What we've done right.
Where we've gone wrong and went astray.
What's reason for being and
find the true meaning of meaning.
Reason by definition is the capacity:
logical, rational, and analytic thought;
intelligence. Is this something we are taught?
Or is this something we should already know,
(discerning or perceiving easily; keen)
(a way of reasoning, judgment)
by definition to think clearly
is to perceive judgment
and the ability to reason.
If we hold all of these things
why do we choose to
make choices that breed negative consequences.
We manifest a life in which
the outcome can only come back to haunt us.
Taking a step back into evolution,
to a hunter-gather state.
To relive a 65 million year
past closer to that of a primate.
To dumb and dull ourselves down
until we have no concept of
what causes harm or hate.
The human mind a terrible thing to waste?
Or maybe to use at another time and place.
I am not telling you to stop thinking,
but to stop and think.
What more could possibly
go wrong before we decide.
We are progressing to seal all of our fates.
So is the mind really a terrible
thing to waste when we get to
the point where compassion is replaced with hate?
Books are replaced with bombs.
I wish for a better day.
A brighter tomorrow.
Someone to look up to and follow.
In a world gone mad and torn
of all feelings to look into the eyes of my race,
who has been herded and
rendered useless and hollow.
Do we have time to change?
That idea would be applicable
if we had the ability to stop.
Time is a man made concept
and just like that everything
else we have created will soon be lost.
So what do you want me to say?
That everything will be ok?
I wish for a better day.
Someone to look up to and follow.
I must be that person.
I wish for a better day.
