Life of the Earth

(youtube  This is combined with the Prelude there.)

Teacher, Teacher, do you really know?
Teacher, Teacher, can you really see?
What are your secret thoughts about me?
Do you think that I would rape?                                                                                                                                         Do you think that I would kill?
Why else do you seek to break my will?
Robotize me, lobotomize me.
Leave my body an empty shell,                   
Cast my soul adrift in a soulless hell.

So who will teach us the life of the earth? 
Who will teach us how to live and love?
To be a human being in this world.
Who will teach us how to find our way?

 

Your knives ever ready to emasculate,
As you prepare your totalitarian state.
Your only desire is to alienate.
Your secret purpose is to confiscate,
Our sacred birthright, our identity.                                                                                                                                     A Machiavellian conspiracy.
You think that you are free, to play your evil game,
But the tables are turned, you are named and shamed.

So who will teach us the life of the earth?                     
Who will teach us how to live and love?
To be a human being in this world.
Who will teach us how to find our way?
