"Jealousy (Acoustic)" lyrics

"Jealousy (Acoustic)"

We've built towers to the sky and pyramids in desert dunes
Broke the speed of sound, sent man to the moon
We've roamed around this world and sailed the seven seas
But we just can't seem to conquer our own humanity

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Bound and chained by insecurity
Time again we've tried and failed
I guess the devil knows us well
Tell me what's it gonna take to set us free
From jealousy

Made brother turn on brother, tore families apart
Stole our trust for one another and put hatred in our hearts
Caused empires to crumble, never caring about the cost
Yet nothin' quite to compares to nailing Jesus to the cross

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Bound and chained by insecurity
Time again we've tried and failed
I guess the devil knows us well
Tell me what's it gonna take to set us free
From jealousy

Of all the things we could've dwelt upon
The one thing we let destroy our happy home

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Bound and chained by insecurity
Time again we've tried and failed
The devil knows us both too well
Tell me what's it gonna take to set us free
From jealousy
