The Profane Rights of Man

[Verse 1]
Hostility to every living creature
Like gifted intellectual commands
"Inalienable" is not some moving feature
Its foundation, a bedrock of the land

[Chorus]
So it's criminal, antithetical
Inimical to enlightened plan
If you seek to make divisible
The principle
Of the profane rights of man

[Verse 2]
And so it turns, the bourgeoisie
The bastard child of democracy
Morphs into aristocracy
Demands advantage it must not receive

[Bridge]
But if the citizen will not stay its hand
The myth becomes a menace on the land
And it's criminal, antithetical, inimical, oh-oh
Intelligence and knowledge are an ordinance
A constant check on privilege and wealth
Nurture it, provisioning a furtherance
Of fundamental democratic health

[Chorus]
So it's criminal, antithetical
Inimical to an enlightened plan
If you seek to make divisible
The principle
Of the profane rights of man

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
