Can you name me a living creature
That kills all it's competitors for food?
And when they're gone he kills the
Competitors of its food's food too
I'm talking about the birds
The aphids, the insects, and the trees
'Cause there's innumerable
Extinct species among these
We've been enacting a story for 12,000 years
The one that says that man must follow no natural law
The one that says that man is distinctly separate
From every living thing
That man is the end result of evolution

Yes, the clan of Cain killed the clan of Abel
So that Cain could bear the fruit of Abel's land
So man has been killing his brother from
The beginning of the agricultural revolution
Mass killings and mass graves
Globalization of slaves
Genocide and extinction

Yes, you know that the war will never be over
'Cause war is our bread and butter
'Cause we're living a lie
That says there's no place for any other
Living creature that doesn't think like you and me
Yes, now we're going to the root of the Taker Story
We decide what's good and bad
For the entire universe
And if what you do don't work for us
We'll turn you into dust
You savages are wild
So naked and so free
If you don't want to die
You have to live like me

So, even though you won't believe it native people are still around
They treat the earth with respect they know it's sacred ground
They live in remote places the takers still can't colonize
They are the true voice of reason, they have nature's eyes
They've been enacting the story for three million years
The one that says that human must obey natural law
The one that says that human is connected to every living thing
That man is only one strand in the web of life

Take the dagger out your mind
Take the taker out your soul
When you do, you'll find
