"Mud Huts" lyrics

When the world began
Fish on legs we crawled out from the sea
We're free
Now it's down the pan
Two thousand years ago we held the key
Majestic creations
Inspiring greatness in nations
Senseless relentlessly we've

Been building our mud huts, over their palaces
To all of their challenges, we did rapidly fall
Yes, we're still building our mud huts, over their palaces
Look at all we hold dear
And it's perfectly clear
How we've grown so incredibly small

Big machines rolled in
Ignoring all, ten thousand hungry men
Condemned
Then the beast it came
Silently it grew and spun it's web
Not so easy to reason
The genie back into the bottle
Redesigning the grand plan
With his flawless perception of man

Building our mud huts, over their palaces
To all of their challenges, we did rapidly fall
Yes, we're still building our mud huts, over their palaces
Though we try to defend, it's a hollow pretend
We've grown so incredibly

Tense and cruel
Content to be foolish
Wide-eyed and wayward
And blindly, happy to live in our...

Been building our mud huts, over their palaces
To all of their challenges, we did rapidly fall
Yes, we're still building our mud huts, over their palaces
Look at all we hold dear
And it's perfectly clear
How we've grown so incredibly small

Maybe we should find a cave
And hide so no-one sees
The ones who once were tall are now
Just standing on their knees
Can we just stop and take a breath...
Please?
