"As A Species, Taking All In All, We Are Still Too Young, Too Juvenile, To Be Trusted. We Have Spread

"As A Species, Taking All In All, We Are Still Too Young, Too Juvenile, To Be Trusted. We Have Spread

"As a species, taking all in all, we are still too young, too juvenile, to be trusted. We have spread across the face of the earth in just a few thousand years, no time at all as evolution clocks time, covering all livable parts of the planet, endangering other forms of life, and now threatening ourselves." -Lewis Thomas

Please could you stop the noise

I'm trying to get some rest

From all the unborn chicken voices in my head

What's that?

What's that?

When I am king, you will be first against the wall

With your opinion which is of no consequence at all

What's that?

What's that?

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly

Kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy

...

Rain down, rain down

Come on rain down on me

From a great height

From a great height, height

Rain down, rain down

Come on, rain down on me

From a great height

From a great height

Rain down, rain down 

...

God loves his childrean

God loves his children, yeah

It's gonna take more than muscle now. A Luke Temple tune.

what is this song about?  Is it worth discussing? What are the lyrics?

Here's one guess: "Don't befriend (pretend) if you don't mean it. A killing isn't worth your living mind. Why be touched if you cant feel it? Suspecting eyes and constant disbelief. And that sycomore is not lonely. he'll make his way to heaven with a push. He sees all those little people with their heads stuck in their hearts. Like insects in some ever burning bush. So our dreams and of course It's gonna take more than muscle now To lift that horse. To lift that horse. And it was weird when you opened your mouth and those frozen words came falling out. Smashed in little pieces on the floor. And why be touched with a luxury of heat? when a stone bears your name for evermore. So our dreams and of course It's gonna take more than muscle now To lift that horse.  To lift that horse. But you need it 'cause  you got cause Lifting that horse."
