Lyrics

Self-Taught Infection

[Verse 1: Dave Edwardson]

How can we be so blind?

Once we had a world

Untainted land to toil our lives

But then we

[Chorus: Dave Edwardson & Scott Kelly]

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

[Verse 2: Dave Edwardson]

Now what have we got?

Our world's a disease

The germ is us

Our minds have

[Chorus: Dave Edwardson & Scott Kelly]

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

[Bridge: Chad Salter]

We taught our children

Hate and love

We taught our children

To love to hate

We taught our children

Hate and love

We taught our children

To love to hate

[Verse 3: Dave Edwardson]

Confined inside our minds

Entangled in greed

We search for unity

Our minds have

[Chorus: Dave Edwardson & Scott Kelly]

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control

Of our greed and need

Lost control
