Brutal Planet

Lyrics

We're spinning round on this ball of hate
 There's no parole, there's no great escape
 We're sentenced here until the end of days
 And then my brother there's a price to pay
 ♪
 We're only human, we were born to die
 Without the benefit of reason why
 We live for pleasure to be satisfied
 And now it's over there's no place to hide
 Why don't you, come down to
 It's such a brutal planet
 It's such an ugly world
 Why won't you, come down to
 "This world is such perfection" (What a sight)
 "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)
 "A truly grand creation" (What a sight)
 "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)
 It's such a brutal planet
 It's such a living hell
 It was a holy garden
 That's right where Adam fell
 It's where the bite was taken
 It's where we chose to sin
 It's where we first were naked
 This is where our death begins
 ♪
 We took advice from that deceiving snake
 He said don't worry it's a piece of cake
 And sent us swimming in a burning lake
 Now we're abandoned here for heaven's sake
 Why don't you, come down to
 It's such a brutal planet
 It's such an ugly world
 Why won't you, come down to
 "This world is such perfection" (What a sight)
 "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)
 "A truly grand creation" (What a sight)
 "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)
 Here's where we keep the armies
 Here's where we write their names
 Here's where the money got us
 Here's our famous hall of shame
 Here's where we starve the hungry
 Here's where we cheat the poor
 Here's where we beat the children
 Here is where we pay the whores
 ♪
 Why don't you, come down to
 It's such a brutal planet
 It's such an ugly world
 Why won't you, come down to
 "This world is such perfection" (What a sight)
 "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)
 "A truly grand creation" (What a sight)
 "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)
 Right here we stoned the prophets
 Built idols out of mud
 Right here we fed the lions
 Christian flesh and Christian blood
 Down here is where we hung him
 Upon an ugly cross
 Over there we filled the ovens
 Right here the holocaust
