In Defense of Humans by Fugazi Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1989

Mustang Sally, take one

[Verse]
In defense of humans
Lay down your power trip
Stop toying with emotions and relationships
Cause you, you don't rise when people fall

In defense of humans
Lay down your politics
They're all big money and media tricks
Cause you, you don't rise when people fall

I...
I see you rot this world
I...
I see you ride this world
I...
I see you rape this world
On, off, on, off, on, off
I don't like what I see
Greed
I don't like what I see
Greed

In defense of humans
Lay down your human pride
We're born into our bodies
No chance to decide
Cause you, you don't rise when people fall

In defense of humans
Lay down your sticks and stones
Weapons and violence are better off left alone
Cause you, you don't rise when people fall

I...
I see you rot this world
I...
I see you ride the world
I...
I see you rape this world
On, off, on, off, on, off

I don't like what I see
Greed
I don't like what I see
And I see greed
Say you
You don't rise when people fall
I said you
You don't rise when people fall
