In Defense of Humans (Live) - Washington DC 09/03/87_FLS0001
[Intro]
This song is called "In Defense of Humans"
[Verse 1]
In defense of humans
Lay down your power trip
Stop toying with emotions and relationships
'Cause you don't rise when people fall
In defense of humans
Lay down your politics
They're all big money and media tricks
Yeah, you don't rise when people fall
[Chorus]
I see you rob this world
I see you ride this world
I see you rape this world
On, off, on, off, on, off
[Post-Chorus]
I don't like what I see
Greed
I don't like what I see
Greed
[Verse 2]
In defense of humans
Lay down your gender pride
We're born into our bodies, no chance to decide
That you don't rise when people fall
In defense of humans
Lay down your sticks and stones
Weapons and violence are better off left alone
'Cause you don't rise when people fall
[Chorus]
I see you rob this world
I see you ride this world
I see you rape this world
On, off, on, off, on, off
[Post-Chorus]
I don't like what I see
Greed
I don't like what I see
Greed
[Outro]
Say you
You don't rise when people fall
I said you
You don't rise when people fall
