Our course is our own, I know we're to blame 

We're born into shame, to live in despair 



I feel such pity for what we've become 

Our needs and desires...our weakness, our pain 



Our need to fulfil, the urges we feel 

It weakens our will, it brings us great pain 



A flood of hatred surges inside 

Control it, deny it...let it run free 



I can't run away...I can't hide from myself 

It is what I am...it is what we are 



Do you think you are the chose 

Do you think you are the few 

Look around and see...pathetic human beasts 

We have written our own ending 



How can we live with ourselves 

Our jealousy, our tyranny 

The lives we make, the lives we take 

The fools we serve, the fools we are 



Brazen in our final days 

Our time on top is near on end 

It's clear to me we'll never change 

It's clear that I will never change 

The tragedy of life we live 

The tragedy of life we'll see 

We call it human nature 

The seducer of mankind 



Our course is our own, I know we're to blame 

We're born into shame, to live in despair 

A flood of hatred surges inside 

Control it, deny it...let it run free 



I can't run away...I can't hide from myself 

It is what I am...it is what we are 

Look around and see...pathetic human beasts 

We have written our own ending 



How can we live with ourselves 

Our jealousy, our tyranny 

The lives we make, the lives we take 

The fools we serve, the fools we are
