i think this song is not talking about the human race as a whole, but rather businessmen, corporations. they will do anything deceitful. "purpose, profit, act only to gain". well, numbers exceeding the billions would suggest the human race, but he might be saying that there is that trace of whatever that is in every human heart. if left unchecked, everyone might turn out like that. idk. i have the general idea, but maybe not the specifics. great song though, no question.
