[Instrumental Intro]
Y'all, I've been wonderin'
Still I'm uncertain
If there's ever been an urgent time like the one we're in
Once again, humans have plummeted
From bein' on top of shit to bein' under it
For instance, Americans on heroin
Many men battle the sin, but they never win
Their brains ain't tellin' them, that it's killin' them
The false bliss make 'em think it's fulfillin' them
We're unequipped to live in this environment
That's why I'm in alliance with scientists
Psychiatrists, always bringin' new clients in
They tried diagnosin' me, I wasn't buyin' it
No way I'll behave like a tame man
Bein' made with the DNA of a caveman
This strange land wasn't a part of the game plan
Can't stray from ways that nature made man
And we'll never stop until the end
There is no inherited "shut off" switch
Tellin' us we had enough of all this
So you're tellin' me I'm gonna stop?
'Cause I'll keep goin'
One part is what I've learned, another part's inherited
Another problem is overpopulation
Too many kids and not enough occupations
We got no patience, just lots of hatred
In this one big melting pot of races
Obsessive-compulsives act on impulses
I never chose to overindulge in my dosage
I just opened up and ate it like a vulture
Just how us humans are supposed ta'
There is no inherited "shut off" switch
Tellin' us we had enough of all this
We ain't evolvin', just dissolvin'
Just a bunch of food, drug, and alcoholics
And we'll never stop until the end
There is no inherited "shut off" switch
Tellin' us we had enough of all this
So you're tellin' me I'm gonna stop?
'Cause I'll keep goin'
One part is what I've learned, another part's inherited
(Enough of all this, enough of all this
Enough, enough, enough of all this)
I got every reason to believe in demons
It's more than it seems, it ain't just me dreamin'
We need to breed by releasin' semen
It's in the girl's genes to receive and feed them
Makes for males in the world to be
Plantin' they seed in every pretty girl he sees
Though we seem to be behavin' perfectly
We don't know our fate's at stake, mistakenly
See, I'm very sure Henry Ford didn't know
That a car's exhaust would defrost the North Pole
See, across the globe, we all lost control, but
Little did we know it would cost our homeland
And we'll never stop until the end
There is no inherited "shut off" switch
Tellin' us we had enough of all this
So you're tellin' me I'm gonna stop?
'Cause I'll keep goin'
One part is what I've learned, another part's inherited
