Mankind Never Learns

Mankind never learns!

Are there lessons to be had?

What is the challenging aspect?

Are we just products of our past?

Is mankind really built to last?

Cascade of warnings

Burden of facts

Truth unheeded

Mankind never acts

Mankind never learns!

Personal profit - personal gain

Mankind never learns

This world is insane

(Insane, insane)

Policy is not morality

Morality doesn’t set you free

Ignorance isn’t bliss

Common sense is dismissed

The answer is simple

Mankind never learns

As long as profits roll

We watch the world burn

We fell for our own belief

Of wealth and greed

Prisoners of our own design

We chose to ignore all signs

We brought this upon ourselves

By our own design

Sustaining systems

Twisted and maligned

Mankind never learns!

Economy outranks society

No way out of this misery

Mankind never learns

As we watch this world burn
