Lyrics

Destroy the Man

Out of the dirt and up on our legs
We used to crawl but that's hardly changed
Raped our sisters, had our way with them
Ruled that we should rule, called ourselves men

Invented poetry, impaired it with fame
Killed the poet to usurp his name
Distorted philosophy to further war
Man's greatest feat would enslave us all

How we love the shackles when we control the chains

Destroy the man (death to death)
Destroy the man (death to death)
Destroy the man (death to death)
Destroy the man (death to death)

Conceived the structures, made up the rules
To our benefit we defined the tools
Worshipped ourselves and our own kind
Molded history in our design

Let's destroy
His story too
Let's destroy
Start something new

Destroy the man (death to death)
Destroy the man (death to death)
Destroy the man (death to death)
Destroy the man (death to death)
