We're spinning round on this ball of hate There's no parole, there's no great escape We're sentenced here until the end of days And then my brother there's a price to pay We're only human, we were born to die Without the benefit of reason why We live for pleasure to be satisfied And now it's over there's no place to hide Why don't you, come down to It's such a brutal planet It's such an ugly world Why won't you, come down to "This world is such perfection" (What a sight) "It's just like paradise" (For your eyes) "A truly grand creation" (What a sight) "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes) It's such a brutal planet It's such a living hell It was a holy garden That's right where Adam fell It's where the bite was taken It's where we chose to sin It's where we first were naked This is where our death begins We took advice from that deceiving snake He said "don't worry it's a piece of cake" And sent us swimming in a burning lake Now we're abandoned here for heaven's sake Why don't you, come down to It's such a brutal planet It's such an ugly world Why won't you, come down to "This world is such perfection" (What a sight) "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes) "A truly grand creation" (What a sight) "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes) Here's where we keep the armies Here's where we write their names Here's where the money god is Here's our famous hall of shame Here's where we starve the hungry Here's where we cheat the poor Here's where we beat the children Here is where we pay the whores Why don't you, come down to It's such a brutal planet It's such an ugly world Why won't you, come down to "This world is such perfection" (What a sight) "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes) "A truly grand creation" (What a sight) "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes) Right here we stoned the prophets Built idols out of mud Right here we fed the lions Christian flesh and Christian blood Down here is where we hung him Upon an ugly cross Over there we filled the ovens Right here the holocaust
