Heavy Water Lyrics

Sitting here on terra firma
It's the place we were meant to be
Out here kinda lost in space now
Pondering life's mysteries
All of mankind worship at the altar
Of the old mythology
But the genie's out of the bottle
Collision course with eternity

Young children playing in the chatrooms
With the freaks and the satellites
Upload to the nearest planet
Burning out at the speed of light
Better living for the masses
With the new technology
But some fool went and pushed the button
He didn't get an apology

Feeling good is the new sensation
Panacea for the Prozac nation

Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father

Sacred cows sizzling in the fire
As we all go up in flames
With millions of true believers
And their unfamiliar names

On the road to good intentions
Blown to hell by our own inventions

Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like animals to the...

Custom made for the self-reliant
Lemonade for the thirsty giant

Heavy, heavy, water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like animals to the (slaughter)

Technology can't help humanity's problems- it can only make them worse. Can't say that I totally agree, but this song is awesome!
