[Lyric] The Human Condition (Space Cadets)

[Verse 1]
Some say that you and I were born of chaos
Aligned towards order by a loving God, they tell us
While others believe it was abiogenesis
A disagreement followed by the birth of a nemesis

And as my time runs out and I start to go under
I do begin to wonder

[Chorus]
Will we ever penetrate the great filter of self-destruction?
Violence amongst ourselves never really needed any introduction
Spinning on a rock in space, all the pain and misery we brace
A species in transition, gaze upon the human condition

[Verse 2]
Some live lives of absolute bliss and pleasure
Some walked the moon, some even crossed oceans for good measure
While others find peace and happiness to be so alien
A short life, spent in the dirt, ended by a bullet to the cranium
And as I start slipping off into the abyss
I notice something's amiss

[Chorus]
Will we ever penetrate the great filter of self-destruction?
Violence amongst ourselves never really needed any introduction
Spinning on a rock in space, all the pain and misery we brace
A species in transition, gaze upon the human condition

[Verse 3]
Oh, to find yourself at the peak of your prime
Burning with desire for change within your lifetime
Will we ever penetrate the great filter of self-destruction?
Please tell me, will you liberate the human condition?
