Bombs exploding, and tears are flowing Chasing rockets and gasping for air They can call it justice or retribution Yet the reasons are never clear Freedom is just man's invention And a soldier is just a slave Self inflicted, so addicted Bad habits are hard to break I'm alive Watching better turn to worse (Watching better turn to worse) One more time Try to civilize the universe (Civilize the universe) Without the righteous, without the faithful We would never accept the obscene A false confession, a priest's obsession Gives the demon a light to be seen Burn the witch and hang deserters There's only one choice to be made We're thought restricted And heart afflicted, and herd afflicted The truth is so hard to take I'm alive Watching better turn to worse (Watching better turn to worse) One more time Try to civilize the universe (Civilize the universe) The righteous and the faithful Give the deaf man to the blind The world full of confusion From a disease of the mind (Guitar solo) I'm alive Watching better turn to worse (Watching better turn to worse) One more time Try to civilize the universe (Civilize the universe) I'm alive Watching better turn to worse (Watching better turn to worse) One more time Try to civilize the universe (Civilize the universe) Try to civilize the universe (Civilize the universe)
