lyrics

6. THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY IS DOGS If there ever was innocence, then I can’t recall, but the linchpin got pulled and the castle did fall. And the stones from the wreckage were gathered and saved, to be thrown at the young and the trusting. If there ever was wisdom it’s since been misplaced. Gone with the innocence that’s since been erased. The light of a child, the words of an old man, have been stamped out to shorten the beginning and the end. We don’t talk much about. We don’t speak out of turn. We don’t challenge our teachers, ‘cuz one day we’ll learn that the wheels of progress with all the hammers and the gears, pull rank on survival and instinct of one million years. If there ever was compassion, then its story’s been sold. Stripped down for parts and then left in the cold. It’s all charity and religion we’ll give money to, just don’t ask me to do any favors for you. And if there ever was justice and it ever was blind, then the scales have been rigged and the verdicts tongue-tied. Vae victis, vae victis. While Brennus’s sword weighs favor against what most folks can afford.

Backup Vocals: Jeff Brawer. 1st Guitar Solo: Scott Laval. 2nd Guitar Solo: Russ Van Cleave. Dogs Barking: Ozzy, Otto and Stella. Ice Sucking Sounds: Andy Pants.
