| he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere | |
| he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear | |
| see him burning the fruits of his labours | |
| and with joy in his heart digs the graves of those | |
| that he's trying to save oh, self destruction's his aim | |
| see the soil turn to dust see the steel turn to rust | |
| killing all those he loves thanking god up above | |
| the paradox of man the paradox of man | |
| he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb | |
| he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man | |
| and he envies the power of his neighbours | |
| and he still fails to see he's become his own | |
| worst enemy oh, will he ever learn? | |
| see the truth turn to lies see the greed in his eyes | |
| wasting all that remains his soul trapped in chains | |
| the paradox of man the paradox of man | |
| he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere | |
| he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear | |
| soil turn to dust, can his power ever last? | |
| the chains of his gain, reveal secrets of his past | |
| bitter is his greed, but man will never pay | |
| oh lead me through, lead me through, the faults of his rage | |
| he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb | |
| he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man |
