In the Defense of Humans (Wilson Center) Songtext
von Fugazi

In defense of humans
Lay down your power trip
Stop toying with emotions and relationships
Cause you don′t rise when people fall

In defense of humans
Lay down your politics
They're all big money and media tricks
Cause you don′t rise when people fall

I see you rot this world
I see you ride this world
I see you rape this world
On, off, on, off, on, off
And I don't like what I see
Greed


In defense of humans
Lay down your human pride
We're born into our bodies
No chance to decide
Cause you don′t rise when people fall

In defense of humans
Lay down your sticks and stones
Weapons and violence are better off left alone
Cause you don′t rise when people fall

I see you rot this world
I see you ride this world
I see you rape this world
On, off, on, off, on, off
And I don't like what I see
Greed

You don′t rise when people fall
