THE GALACTIC SAVAGE

Here we are in our concrete and steel loincloths 
wielding our thermonuclear jawbones
and lying to the universe

Look at us 
we're not savages
we're not barbarians
we've got technology
We've got justice
and freedom
and democracy

We don't wage war, unless we have to
we don't kill people, unless they deserve it
we don't let people starve, or freeze on the streets
unless they want to

We're not superstitious
we don't believe in God
we've got doctors, and politicians 
we've got science, and condoms, and smart bombs 
we've even got Macdonald's

Look at us 
we're the greatest
the pinnacle of evolution
the top of the food chain
the masters of our world

We're not like tramps
lying in the street
suffocating in our own excrement
breathing our own poisons
dying from disease

No, we're the greatest
nature's finest
first above all
Humanity
