Lyrics

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
