Civilize The Universe
Bombs exploding, and tears are flowing, chasing rockets and gasping for air
You can call it justice or retribution, yet the reasons are never clear
Freedom is just man's invention and a soldier is just a slave
Self inflicted, so addicted, bad habits are hard to break
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
Without the righteous, without the faithful, we would never accept the obscene
A false confession, a priest's obsession gives the demon a light to be seen
Burn the witch and hang deserters, there's only one choice to be made
We're thought restricted, and herd afflicted, the truth is so hard to take
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
The righteous and the faithful
Give the deaf man to the blind
The world full of confusion
From a disease of the mind
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time

I imagine a number of service people who went into wars that didn't meet the optimistic political aims are thinking this, from Vietnam veterans onwards.

The great thing about this read is that it sounds as if it could be an actual song and that its message is truthful, from my perspective

It is actually a song. I found the lyrics in one of Ozzy Osbourne's albums. But I did talk to two of my uncles who were Vietnam war veterans. One a marine at that time and the other in the army. they both listened to the song and said that Ozzy Osbourne hit the nail on the head with that one.
