PennywiseThe Fuse (2005)Competition SongWithin all of us is the instinct to surviveAnd to win at any costIn the fight to stay aliveWe fear the foreign culturesThat are different from our ownAnd make enemies from strangersWho are just people we don't know(2X)We fight amongst ourselvesWe obliterate ourselves yeah yeahAnd we compete until we dieEven though we don't know whyWe believe in ancient liesWe compete until we dieWe struggle against each otherTo get things in life we needAnd even more to give us the statusWhich in return will help us breedWe separate ourselves by the color of our skinAnd the country where we're bornAnd which god we believe in(2X)We fight amongst ourselvesWe obliterate ourselves yeah yeahAnd we compete until we dieEven though we don't know whyWe believe in ancient liesWe compete until we dieAnd we compete until we dieWe believe these ancient liesIf we could only change our mindsmaybe then we'd all survive
We live in a world, however, where from time immemorial obedience to the commands of the Prophets has been the exception rather than the rule; where love of self has been a more prevalent motive than love of God; where limited and party interests have taken precedence of the interests of humanity as a whole; where material possessions and sensual pleasures have been preferred to the social and spiritual welfare of mankind. Hence have arisen fierce competition and conflict, oppression and tyranny, extremes of wealth and poverty—all those conditions which breed disease, mental and physical. As a consequence, the whole tree of humanity is sick, and every leaf on the tree shares in the general sickness.
