One step forward, two steps back

WAV 1,04 MB, 97 sec

The work is done, the doubts are gone
So here it is, your masterpiece
Created by a genius in a shortsighted daze
A manifestation of thousand sleepless nights
Now the feeling of triumph fills your face

I´m sure you just wanted the best
But you had better thought about the rest
So your device has become humanity´s demise
You really should have known better
cause now it suddenly does matter
One step forward, two steps back

The circle of progress becomes ever faster
How will they use your invention
To kill, destroy and devastate
I don`t think this was your intention
But the timebomb has been made

Humanity´s not ready for your thoughts
How can we cope with new things
When we can´t even live with the status quo
Not many want to see the deeper meanings
It can´t be the right way we go

So we disguise
The inability to face the situation
As a desire for progress and research
We can change the conditions
We can destroy our world
We can make up new technology
But there´s no aim to gain
Cause inside we remain the same
We take one step forward
But two steps back
