I show pity on the human race On the ignorant plenty who devote their lives To an icon that they've never known I show pity on eons past When a clever man started the first civilization And human aggression was born I show pity on the future to come When the government systems will be omnipotent And we'll be worse off than we are now Pity, pity On the billions of ignorant people Pity, pity On the masses of aggression Pity, pity On the future centuries to come On the billions of ignorant people On the future centuries to come On the masses of aggression It's all a matter of looking at the past It's all a question, "Are we going to last?" If we endure the aggression that's inside all of us We'll wipe out our own species and thus the world Pity, pity On the masses of aggression On the billions of ignorant people On the future centuries to come On the masses of ignorant people On the future centuries to come
