"The Human Germ [Xingu Hill Battles the Predominant Pestilence Vers]" Lyrics

My body tired, my time passed
We've eroded the soil from the ground
A rocky grave is where I'll be found, cause...

Whatever direction you may turn
You'll see my friend, the earth's been poisoned
By the human germ

Whatever direction you may turn
You'll see my friend, the earth's been poisoned
By the human germ

Look to the sky, look to the moon
Escape for some, but not for you
Doomed to wander a barren rock
If I was naive I'd call it bad luck, but...

Whatever direction you may turn
You'll see my friend, the earth's been poisoned
By the human germ

Whatever direction you may turn
You'll see my friend, the earth's been poisoned
By the human germ

However we got to wherever we are today
Whether from space, whether from chimp
All excuses are looking quite limp, 'cause...

Whatever direction you may turn
You'll see my friend, the earth's been poisoned
By the human germ

Whatever direction you may turn
You'll see my friend, the earth's been poisoned
By the human germ
