the universe, uncaring  
proceeds along its path  
it spares no thought to sparing  
or limiting its wrath  
the life it birthed, pure hunger  
the fittest, day, by day  
the old yield to the younger  
has ever been the way  
and now, in this late hour  
we hunger for a truce  
and call to higher power  
he's of no use, our Zeus  
we grew, and our dear father  
had never spared the rod  
no wonder then, we'd rather  
become just like our god
