E                    C
I've got nothing to say
E                    C
I've got nothing to do
E                      G
All of my neurons are functioning smoothly
C                                E
Yet still I'm a cyborg just like you

I am one big myoma that thinks
My planet supports only me
I've got this one big problem: will I live forever?
I've got just a short time, you see

Chorus:
E       G     C              E
Modern man, evolutionary betrayer
E       G     C            E
Modern man, ecosystem destroyer
E       G        C                E
Modern man, destroy yourself in shame
E       G       C                 A                  E
Modern man, pathetic example of earth's organic heritage

When I look back and think
When I ponder and ask why?
I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon
Assuming eternal supply

Chorus:
Modern man, evolutionary betrayer
Modern man, ecosystem destroyer
Modern man, destroy yourself in shame
Modern man, pathetic example of earth's organic heritage

Just a sample of carbon-based wastage
Just a fucking tragic epic of you and I
