lyrics

Let me tell you what I really want,
Drop the veil on the human dream,
Discuss the lies, corruption and guile
of the men who would dare lead anyone.

Then we'll pick up a mirror,
Look deep into the face of our own worst enemy,
Each face complicit,
With each compromise.

Not evolving, not evolving, not evolving,
Stagnant minds.

Take a look at how we treat our friends,
Cut off feelings before they begin,
Isolate in judgment, deny,
Spread the pain of our fears to everyone.

How do you find the peace of mind needed
to stand up in the face of certain death?
What is the measure of right,
Against the meaning of life?

Not evolving, not evolving, not evolving,
Stagnant minds.

And then we beg for security,
Dismissing notions of Liberty,
Why can't we see the solution that frees us
from the fear which rules our lives?

Instead we cry and we hide in the closets of our minds,
Curled, cowed, in servitude,
Too scared to live,
Too scared to die.

Not evolving, not evolving, not evolving,
Stagnant minds.

We are gonna kill it,
Yeah, we're gonna kill ourselves,
Oh now, we are gonna kill it,
Yeah, we're gonna bring it down.

Not evolving, not evolving, not evolving,
Stagnant minds.
