Mankind Never Learns Lyrics

Mankind never learns!

Are there lessons to be had?
What is the challenging aspect?
Are we just products of our past?
Is mankind really built to last?

Cascade of warnings
Burden of facts
Truth unheeded
Mankind never acts

Mankind never learns!

Personal profit, personal gain
Mankind never learns!
This world is insane

Policy is not morality
Morality doesn't set you free
Ignorance isn't bliss
Common sense is dismissed
The answer is simple:
Mankind never learns
As long as profits roll
We watch the world burn

We fell for our own belief
Of wealth and greed
Prisoners of our own design
We chose to ignore all signs
We brought this upon ourselves, by our own design
Sustaining systems
Twisted and maligned

Mankind never learns!

Economy outranks society
No way out of this misery
Mankind never learns
As we watch this world burn
