Collin Kravis - Humane Lyrics

I didn't realize how bad it really would get
I was so spoiled with western privileges
First they gave us famine till we lost our teeth
And then they gave us guns and let us be the police
Just another problem bound to fix itself in the end

And I close my eyes
'Cause I don't feel safe
'Cause I'm in real life
And that's not humane

Just keep your head down
Stay on the pillow my dear
And if they want to talk
Don't let the words in your ear
Your hands are evidence
They uncontrollably shake
I'm growing confident
That you have made a mistake

You think you've got it tough
You want to call them unkind
They have their ways, you know
Their ways of changing your mind
They didn't make them up
Those things you're hearing about
You think you've got it tough
I hope you never find out

I used to fear the air raid sirens
But know I know they're there to keep me safe
I used to fear the national silence
But then they put me into place
The marketplace will never wait
There's no restraint there's just regret
Were you expecting transformation?
Disappointment strikes again

I want to live like I'm in wartime
I need the thrill of firefight
I want to be a five-star general
I want to be identified
Call me savage, rip the bandage, watch me ravage all I can
We all belong to evolution
Disappointment strikes again

How'd you get your different answer?
Don't you know I'm right?
I wanna make you shut your mouth babe
I wanna claw your eyes
Storm is always
Getting closer
Feel the forest
Blowing over
Hold your fear in
Hold it closer
Watch your castle
Falling over
