Self Styled Superiority by Icons Of Filth Lyrics
Man’s got the capability
For the ultimate stupidity
Man can conquer all
Man can destroy it all
Man is so small, yet man can do it all
Man is obsessed with power & things that’ll give him power
Over all fellow beings to use
If ever he feels threatened or if he feels he's coming second
Man sits proudly on top of the pile
Proudly on to of the stockpile
All else rots
Away
Meanwhile.... Men, women, children & animals get crushed in his systems
Machinery
Labeled with inferiority
Mans biggest mistake is his self-styled superiority
Man’s got the capability for the ultimate stupidity
Man can conquer all
Man can destroy it all
Man is so small, yet man can do it all
Man the most intelligent of all beings?
Yet man is so ignorant to all others feelings
Insensitive, incompetent, uncaring man
Swallows up all others cultures
Enemy of the earth with ‘progress’
Homo sapiens suppress
Blow over cities
So great an achievement
From which nothing can be achieved
Setting aside destruction & radioactive bodies of all types, colours & creeds
This is the food on which progress feeds
But surely this ain’t progress
It’s the regress of mans self-styled superiority
Man’s got the capability for the ultimate stupidity
Man can conquer all
Man can destroy it all
Man is so small, yet man can do it all
Man has learnt to.... Destroy
Murder, rob, hate, con, waste & torture.... & all legally
Then man has learnt nothing
For the ultimate stupidity
Man can conquer all
Man can destroy it all
Man is so small, yet man can do it all
Man is obsessed with power & things that’ll give him power
Over all fellow beings to use
If ever he feels threatened or if he feels he's coming second
Man sits proudly on top of the pile
Proudly on to of the stockpile
All else rots
Away
Meanwhile.... Men, women, children & animals get crushed in his systems
Machinery
Labeled with inferiority
Mans biggest mistake is his self-styled superiority
Man’s got the capability for the ultimate stupidity
Man can conquer all
Man can destroy it all
Man is so small, yet man can do it all
Man the most intelligent of all beings?
Yet man is so ignorant to all others feelings
Insensitive, incompetent, uncaring man
Swallows up all others cultures
Enemy of the earth with ‘progress’
Homo sapiens suppress
Blow over cities
So great an achievement
From which nothing can be achieved
Setting aside destruction & radioactive bodies of all types, colours & creeds
This is the food on which progress feeds
But surely this ain’t progress
It’s the regress of mans self-styled superiority
Man’s got the capability for the ultimate stupidity
Man can conquer all
Man can destroy it all
Man is so small, yet man can do it all
Man has learnt to.... Destroy
Murder, rob, hate, con, waste & torture.... & all legally
Then man has learnt nothing
