You could reach me through the barrel of your gun
But you will never teach me as long as you insist upon superiority
I would gladly learn to be what I yearn to be
But this twisted, tangled mess can never be straightened
Not in a hundred years, and this is all I have
Evolution made sure of that, but one thing that is certain
You eat away, eat it away
While we wither, we wither away
We only have this one place
But you insist on eating it all away
And if I knew what would happen on the day I pass away
It still would not be enough for me
There is no reason, there is no reason
Nothing will ever be enough for me
You eat away, eat it away
While we wither, we wither away
We only have this one place
But you insist on eating it all away
And you can smile and put me down
Not realizing I'm not quite that stupid
Put me down, but I'm back on my feet again
I'm just begging for more, I'm just pleading for more
Because I will always stay this way
Yes, you could reach me through the barrel of your gun
But when will you realize that you can never teach me?
Not in a hundred years, not in a thousand years
When will you realize that I'll always be this way?
You eat away, eat it away
While we wither, we wither away
We only have this one place
But you insist on eating it all away
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, eat it all away
