The Human Condition şarkı sözleri

The educated minds of the middle class Fight wars that are not necessarily their own. Outcast, misfit, half-caste Offspring of expatriates and religious pariahs Feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, They plot and scheme and scream At the decadence around them, Dually living in their den of inequity, Where relationships that are meant to be governed Equally are defended by men. And when a woman exercises her "freedom" The typical male response of jealousy ensues. A reaction tantamount to hypocrisy In the couples joint war against their elder generations. Perpetuation of misogynistic submission, Concubinage and courtesans. And the man finds pride not in being a man But at not being a woman And the killer discovers he despises Not those he kills but those who do not For as sad as it may be Violence brings change And change is brief So when change becomes constant The past is forgotten or remembered In a romanticized rendition of the truth So as the pages turn, The words still appear fresh. And shanghai of 1927 Might as well be san francisco of 1999
