Concrete Jungle by The Maw (@themawofficial) Lyrics
We are trapped inside our genes
Apes forever sleeping in our skin
We try our best to keep them hid
But in the end they pull the strings
We have our mating rituals at night
Under the strobe of nightclub lights
Firebombing cities for our tribe
Overeating candy to survive
Run from the ape
Run for your life
If it catches you
You'll be the end of yourself
The suits in buildings high above
They lock us up in hexagonal chains
Make us squeal like pigs
Warping us all from within
Darwin trapped in a cage
Twists into vile shapes
On a marble in space
A joke for the stars
'We knew the world would not be the same
A few people laughed, a few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture
The Bhagavad Gita
Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince
That he should do his duty and to impress him
Takes on his multi-armed form and says
'Now I am become Death
The destroyer of worlds'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another'
It takes him and beats him to death
And then bites off his face and then
Sprinkles plutonium
To melt off his skin
Apes forever sleeping in our skin
We try our best to keep them hid
But in the end they pull the strings
We have our mating rituals at night
Under the strobe of nightclub lights
Firebombing cities for our tribe
Overeating candy to survive
Run from the ape
Run for your life
If it catches you
You'll be the end of yourself
The suits in buildings high above
They lock us up in hexagonal chains
Make us squeal like pigs
Warping us all from within
Darwin trapped in a cage
Twists into vile shapes
On a marble in space
A joke for the stars
'We knew the world would not be the same
A few people laughed, a few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture
The Bhagavad Gita
Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince
That he should do his duty and to impress him
Takes on his multi-armed form and says
'Now I am become Death
The destroyer of worlds'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another'
It takes him and beats him to death
And then bites off his face and then
Sprinkles plutonium
To melt off his skin
