Civilize The Universe

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)
