I came here 'cause I couldn't make out a couple of the names in the beginning, but I have to say... there is no way the fate of man is "lice" LOL lies, people, lies!
@HartRock90s Disagree...see the next line about 'parasites' - he's basically saying the same thing as Slipknot - 'People = Shit' by comparing man to lice.

@Khaotica92 it makes more sense to me. I see now in hindsight how my first comment here comes across as a little harsh- didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes. I just thought it was lies to begin with before searching the lyrics and so my brain learned the song that way.

@2sylbl okay you’re right there seems to be a consensus among other sources. Lies just makes more sense to me.
