"Demolition Man" lyrics

"Demolition Man"

I saw a video of some working dogs
Each so happy to do what he does
Muddy fur chasing herds, four-wheeler rides
Running sheep, smile wide, deep sleep, full life

But mankind
He's got no sense of purpose
But mankind
It's all call centers and percocets

Picture being built for one thing
And when that thing is done, you feel free
Excavation, demolition, heavy timber frame
Machine shop did its job, perfect machine

But mankind
That boat he's on is rudderless
But mankind
He's busy drilling holes in it

And in time
We can confirm that there's no plan
(But mankind)
He's left to guess from birth and every turn
Until a sharp stop at the end
He's made to crash through walls and dent his skull
Learn nothing, then be dead

Terriers live to kill rats
Retrievers carry birds through reeds
But there's no reason for you to leave bed
No hardwired north, just a compass left spinning in your head
