Cursed With A Brain
[Verse 1]
Count your blessings that you have enough bread
Your belly full and there's a roof over your head
Don't go forgetting how lucky you are
You have your health and you've a job and you've a car
What is it with us, we always wanting more?
Till greed consumes us and we're rotten to the core
We should be humble and wise and true
In this world today that's getting so hard to do

[Chorus]
I don't know
I feel as though
I was cursed with a brain

[Verse 2]
Mother earth she gave us all we possess
But we keep on taking till she has less and less
Are we gonna realise that greed results in war?
Or will we disappear just like the dinosaur?
I want the wisdom of the ancient tribes
For all our progress they were more civilised
I can't help thinking that we've lost our way
But once i'm back on track I won't be led astray

[Chorus]
I don't know
I feel as though
I was cursed with a brain

I don't know
I feel as though
We were cursed with a brain
I'm going insane

Don't look out
Look within
Change yourself
To begin

Don't look out
Look within
Change yourself
To begin
