Greydon Square - Society Versus Nature lyrics
[Greydon Square - Society Versus Nature lyrics]
Yea, Imma make a few observations
Just my own
We’re on an island of society
In an ocean of nature
Where violence lives with poverty
Hope is their neighbor
See there’s a disconnect
We think this planet owes us something
Actually believing to serve us
Is it's only function
Our attitude towards it is too insane
Fools in pain residing on a
Target in a shooting range
What happens when we lose
These comfortable conveniences
And fools can no longer live off
The substance of the geniuses?
Fuck your vaginas and your penises
You both are hairless apes
Your frivolous differences are meaningless
You speak of danger and don’t even
Know how safe you are
Acting like a mass extinction cares
About what race you are
Society coddles and lies for what’s "best"
Nature arrives wearing the disguise
Of your death we hit the lotto
In a universe uniquely hostile
While the attempted separation leaves
The species hollowed
The subtle conflicts of the ages
Are problems we inherited
From ancients unforeseen
And when the battle causes anguish
It’s often society versus nature underneath
We love the comforts of community
But still treat the members
Amongst it brutally, then call for peace
There doesn’t have to be this friction
Should we obtain balance we’ll reach
The mythic vaunted peak
Grotesque areas
Where rest becomes wear enough
It’s perilous
Nature isn’t supposed to be fair or just
You got that confused with society
The lies of piety, old sobriety
The notion you’re supposed to hire me
A tree of life in a forest of death
Upon a leaf that employs the duress
On a planetoid orbiting death
What’d you expect from the killing game?
The lioness showed up at the same
Time that your feelings came
Simple and plain
Survival of the fittest ingrained
To be retained in the primitive’s brain
Your weakness will get weeded (out)
Even if you think it’s better
Off to be conceited it’s undefeated
More confirms than the internet
It’ll kill a vet like a
Sniper hit's a simple silhouette
So imagine what it does to the clueless
The unprepared, and scared
Ones who are truly foolish
The subtle conflicts of the ages
Are problems we inherited
From ancients unforeseen
And when the battle causes anguish
It’s often society versus nature underneath
We love the comforts of community
But still treat the members
Amongst it brutally, then call for peace
There doesn’t have to be this friction
Should we obtain balance we’ll reach
The mythic vaunted peak
It’s like it was, allows you to sort of -
Be transported back in time
That’s the sort of thing I’d like my
Grandkids to be able to do
Just to be able to, go the same place I went
Be able to see virtually what I saw
Nature in the interim
Society in the interval
Maximum escapism, sobriety is the minimal
Intoxicated from the hubris
Over complicate our simple world
As we misuse it society’s the nuisance
Trying to sell a game of rules and pretend
Where you can only own what you can defend
Essence is large, the fact is you are small
Nature plays the referee
You arguing the calls intelligence lives
While ignorance is targeted
In a realm where you only have your
Will and wit's to bargain with
Part of this is the cognitive dissonance
We experience knowing we’re born
With death sentences
We’re less interested in reconnecting
Disrespect it
Until it’s about to kill us to teach a lesson
So lost in age we dismiss it
And forget that our place
Within is uniquely intrinsic
The subtle conflicts of the ages
Are problems we inherited
From ancients unforeseen
And when the battle causes anguish
It’s often society versus nature underneath
We love the comforts of community
But still treat the members
Amongst it brutally, then call for peace
There doesn’t have to be this friction
