The Civilization Show Lyrics by Star Fucking Hipsters

Never Rest in Peace

2009

[Verse 1]
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
When are we gonna change up
And respect the probability?
Our culture has been bled
And poetry is dead
Police beat it to the ground
And then they shot it in the head
[Pre-Chorus]
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
When are we gonna change up
And respect the probability?
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
[Chorus]
With human intervention
Ten thousand years ago
Torn apart by irrigation
The civilization show
Brought to you by bad intentions
And human lust for greed
Dictate our daily actions
And sponsor slavery
[Verse 2]
When are we gonna make up
And unite our possibilities?
Change our selfish ways
And share our great abilities?
Our causes must be just
Our unity's a must
Ignore our petty differences
And wipe away the dust
Our varieties of ignorance
Gotta share a deeper grave
Gotta reverse civilization
While there's still something to save
Ya can pray all that you want
But then there's really something more
But we gotta tear down their walls
Instead of knocking at their doors
[Verse 3]
When are we gonna wake up
And demand our civil liberties?
Escape our mental cages
And view our lives with clarity
When are gonna stand up
And expect some kind of dignity?
When are we gonna get up
And accept the harsh reality?
We'll have roles to play
We fake 'em every day
And once again, "Don't you know
There's gotta be a better way!"
Though written in my youth
That lyric still has truth
And I read this in a comic book:
"Ideas are all bulletproof!"
[Chorus]
With human intervention
Ten thousand years ago
Torn apart by irrigation
The civilization show
Brought to you by bad intentions
And human lust for greed
Dictate our daily actions
And sponsor slavery
[Horn Interlude]
[Bridge]
Hey, STZA (Once more)
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
[Verse 4]
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
When are we gonna stand up
For our freedom and equality?
The truth is crystal clear
But it's been harvested by fear
And this simple crime occurs
Through every day of every year
But when the lies are dead
And we see just how misled
We'll take all of the wicked ones
And brick 'em in the head
Our aim will never miss
Oh, what a joyful bliss
But until that fateful day
We'll have to ask this:
[Bridge]
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
[Outro]
When are we gonna make up
And unite our possibilities?
Change our selfish ways
And share our great abilities?
When are we gonna grow up
And accept responsibility?
