Original Design

Your're older and your're bolder And you want to feel so fine With broken days behind you As you plod on down the line. Too late for speculation On the madness of the past. You know the end is coming And the end is coming fast. So try to get a handle On the guilt and on the shame There is no way to change it As it stays part of the game. All prayers for man's perfection As a species have no hope; Inferior evolving Up the evolution slope. Man's arrogance is legend In the annals of the earth And every other creature Pays the price for human birth. There is a basic failure In original design; A lot of shallow people Should take time to realign. Mankind no longer focused On his future needs to thrive Yet nature fights for balance So all creatures can survive. When engineers build bridges They correct mistakes they make, But man gets no corrections Since young Eve seduced a snake!
