We

An ordinary day, the evening news

Packaged in a neat way assorted to amuse

They say the fuse is getting shorted but the sun's gonna shine

And if you want more blood, turn it on again at nine

It's civilization - not that civilized to me

And human behavior that's not as human as it ought to be

It's amazing to learn what we do to one another

At the same time pointing out that the next man is a brother

{Chorus]

We're right here together

Civilized forever, mankind at its best

We ain't getting better

It's now or never, join us in the quest

Like this father of four with a pothead on his neck

One day his last little greys went down in deck

So he locked the door to their one room flat

Before he turned the gas on he used his bat

A gang of ten jumped on this dark haired guy

He was gone for five days, then he woke up with a "why"?

He said "Cuz I wanna live and I miss my mum"

"So go get my stuff, Sarajevo here I come"

We're right here together

Civilized forever, mankind at its best

We ain't getting better

It's now or never, join us in the quest

A feature on a young girl walking the street

So wired up that street's not touched by her feet

She says she's positive but she couldn't care less

"I need my fix" she says "What they get's their mess."

So he's got it, now living under the knife

And he doesn't dare tell it to his kids and wife

Nor to his mistress, "It's a little white lie"

"Cuz it'll hurt my reputation man, we're all gonna die!"

A man in his sixties was known to be kind

Sold moonshine to kids who suddenly got blind

When they came to pick him up, he said "I was just being nice"

"I sold them what they wanted at a very good price"

So they end up the show with a map on the weather

"It's a little cloudy now but it's gonna be better"

To me those clouds are just a sign of the times

We'll never get better, we're the worst of all kinds

We're right here together

Civilized forever, mankind at its best

We ain't getting better

It's now or never, join us in the quest

We're right here together

Civilized forever, mankind at its best

We ain't getting better

It's now or never, join us in the quest

We're right here together

Civilized forever, mankind at its best

We ain't getting better

It's now or never, join us in the quest

We're right here together

Civilized forever, mankind at its best

We ain't getting better

It's now or never, join us in the quest

We're right here together

Civilized forever, mankind at its best

We ain't getting better

It's now or never, join us in the quest
