Oh man!
What are you capable of
Oh man!
What dreams you dream of

Do you dream of an equitable world
Do you dream of heaven
Or do you lust after exploitative butchery
In your very own den

Do you yearn for your free spirit
To soar up in the sky
Or do you want to cower, afraid
To even give it a try

Do you think you can exist
While others continue to perish
Or do you want to co-exist
Where all can prosper and flourish

Do you want to continue to pollute
Till the earth loses its fight
Or do you want to see nature
Gurgle with childish delight

Do you desire the end of civilisation
With a worldwide nuclear war
Or do you desire love and tolerance
Making friendships last forever

Oh man!
Of the species designed to be the wisest
Oh man!
What makes you act out the stupidest

Oh man!
Are you following the path to extinction
Oh man!
Is your DNA encrypted with self-destruction
