We Are Men

Verse 1
We're not just beast for the slaughterhouse
We are men, we are men
Evidence of a war being waged against us are prevalent
Enemies surround us
If you're groomed as a slave
You'll eventually become a slave
But if you resist their conditioning
You'll have control of your mind and your senses

Verse 2
You can wear all the sunglasses you want
It won't eliminate the shame you feel
For allowing the madness to seep onto your bloodstream
You're beating yourself up
If you speak to be understood
You still have to clarify your intentions
And how it could possibly impact the world
And future generations

Verse 3
Pretty songs and modern dancing
Are a useful distraction
Against the acquisition and application of knowledge
Entertainment is profitable
Dignity is admirable
Having principles is necessary
When you're the builders of nations
You can't be hesitant to rule
Your actions define you

Chorus 1
Children cry and children play
Our behaviour many yesterdays
We construct and we destroy
The many things which surround us
Still, we don't know if we're progressing
We are men

Chorus 2
Children cry and children play
Our behaviour many yesterdays
Still, we don't know if we're progressing
We are men
We know and we think we know
