Jay Parish - Human Condition Lyrics

You have mastered the art of creating minions
I can see your fingerprints on their opinions
It's like I smell your breath when they speak about their visions
Like they forgot how to think without your permission

You went from making hundreds to hundreds of millions
Convincing us civilians that you'll make us millions
But I would be lying if I said it wasn't brilliant
I can still respect the skills of a chameleon

A fool plus money, that is not addition
That's an unlocked car with keys in the ignition
What you took, you say that we'll get back with your assistance
Every step of the way, you keep charging us commission

You say there's sheep, and then there's sheep that think they're different
And wolves like you are only playing your position
For thousands of years, men like you have been in existence
You say that if I'm lost, let history fill in what's missing
I'll see that it's the

Human condition
The pretty lie is the ugly truth if you listen
First time you heard it, you'll think it's new when it isn't
Behind every genius and every stupid decision
Is what we'll be forever, it's the
Human condition
