lyrics

Overcome

hard to tell the difference
so did you win or lose
throwing sharpened elbows
and kicking dagger shoes

all that will to power
so eager to compete
just another stud baboon
who struts across the street

war our favorite pastime
we shoot til we get numb
then we kneel and pray to god
so much to overcome

downward to the bottom
the race goes to the swift
better cordon off your heart
and saw your soul adrift

do you treat your neighbor
the same as you treat you
better watch your back boy
or he might run you through

chorus

the world survives on kindness
and struts on oil and steel
we obey the lords of more
lose track of what seems real

war our favorite pastime
we shoot til we get numb
then we kneel and pray to god
so much to overcome
