about

A discussion with the detective, Batman.

lyrics

(Intro)
Before we begin, hear me. I have knowledge which is alien to you, for I have tasted food fresh from dark fertile soil, and I have filled my lungs with untainted air, and I have quenched my thirst with water clear as the first day of creation, and you have not....because you cannot.
Those things do not exist on this world any longer. They have been destroyed by man's lust for dominance, a lust I know well, for at times it all but consumes me. All is corrupt, all is sick, all is dying.

(Verse 1)
They say their grandfather lived forever, so will you
Well their grandfather wasn't eatin' the shit that they do
They claim it's all in their nature, therefore it's defendable
Native's watchin' TV? that's just not credible
I'm cynical this shit is beyond cyclical
There's no pass go collect 200 at intervals
Everytime you save their lives they turn around and kill
I guess the answer is a very hard to swallow pill
If not for the Earth, then how bout for the babies
Who they take and then erase the very nature worth saving
You should run some lab tests, on their inoculations
The odds of brain damage not the best approximation
Face it, you're noble but you're really misinformed
You would be amazed by things I sit and think I miss more
The forests I'd explore now covered in concrete
The rivers I would swim in now dry and empty

(Verse 2)
"So your solution is to kill?" I know it's not the best thing
In my travels to the east I've learned the nature of our being
"Which is?" Our higher self and the frequency of love
But to take two forward you gotta step back one
"But at what cost?" Well the more we wait the more is lost
So the question is if we let 'em live how much is lost?
The way I see it, they got our source of life held hostage
And I know a superhero has trouble with this topic
"Drop it!" I won't, don't you see there's no more lines
There's good villains bad heroes under the disguise
If you really love 'em thaen you gotta do what's best for 'em
If they love their kids, then why do they ignore 'em?
"That's not our place to say!" So we should just be bystanders
As they commit crimes against humanity and die faster?
We're sucking blood out the very ground beneath us
"But if I used your methods then nobody would believe us"

(Verse 3)
Listen, detective, you know I study lots
And there's mutual respect for the info that we gots
I would never misinform you or try to manipulate
You see they had their chance now it's time for us to demonstrate
We can end wars introduce cooperation
The population doesn't even know of meditation
Or innovation in the way we prevent degradation
Of the natural resources that we've let become a ration
What you don't get is I would rather no one die
Which I'm sure we could accomplish if we unified our minds
If we held leaders corrupted accountable
I am sure the resulting resources would be bountiful
We can end starvation disease and all need
To commit crime, fulfill the potential of every mind
And so I ask again, detective will you join me?
"Well, I..."

"So what do you suggest?"
