[Verse 1]
I try to simplify
These thoughts that plague our minds
What is this mood we're in?
We live like saints with sin
How much to dignify
The facts that come to light?
We've lost the will to fight

[Chorus]
At the top of the food chain we arrive
Are we destined to grow old?
Are we really the right strain to survive?
We've got to redeem our souls
Souls

[Verse 2]
Unable to comply, so eager to defy
The risk when you apply
It hurts when loved ones die
Where is the moment when
Existence will depend
The test of now and then?

[Chorus]
At the top of the food chain we arrive
Are we destined to grow old?
Are we really the right strain to survive?
We've got to redeem our souls
[Bridge]
(Constant ending, no real mending)
If we keep on living, like we are
There isn't a chance that we'll get very far
So much wasted, so much lost
It's our job to alter the terrible cost

[Chorus]
At the top of the food chain we arrive
Are we destined to grow old?
Are we really the right strain to survive?
We've got to redeem our souls
Souls

[Outro]
We are the endangered species (We're running out of time)
We are the endangered species (Running out of time)
We are the endangered species (We're running out of time)
I am an endangered specie
