Behind The Asteroid of Just Following Orders

“Let who is without sin, 
                 throw da first stone.”  
                                        -  dat Jesus Guy 

Throughout history 
Many eyes have seen 
Their own two hands ... 

Throw the first stone 
Pull the trigger 
Thrust the sword 
Hang a wigger or Hitler wannabe
Push The button 
Swing the axe 
Flip the switch 
Make Anthrax 
Sign the order 
Gas the chambers
Scalp a brother 
Build the Bomb behind closed doors 
Pull the lever, walk the plank

It’s either us or them has always been 
and seems a thoughtless worthless endeavor
 
So, when does it start, the thinking clearly  
Instead of just following orders
What changes the mind of madness,
Evil must be destroyed to free ourselves 
Does it happen after the bombs drop? 
The Book of Doom 
Says there is room 
For all of us in heaven 
If not, there’s plenty room in hell 
For everyone who just want to 
Keep on following orders 

Blindly, without questioning nothing.

A sure-fire way to create an Extinction event 
is to just keep on following orders 

Who needs asteroids 
When all we need is a little love 
And a lot of ignorance
