Utilitarian Lyrics - Singles - They Dwell Beneath The Temples

A great institution, 

liable to be greatly abused, 

it comes from within, 

the belief in equal opportunity, 

there is no difference between you and me, 

we are all human beings, 

we are all human beings, 

we are all human beings, 

[chorus] 

everyone would think for themselves, 

this would defeat its own purpose in the midst of terror 

love is the subtlest force in the world, 

greater than the force of nature, 

pure and eternal, 

in a state representing an organized form of fear, 

the individual, having soul, is a soulless machine as a part of the state, 

never free of the fear to which it owes its very existence, 

increased power of the state, while doing some good, does great harm, 

by destroying individuality 

the individual lies at the root of all progress, 

truth, being the voice within the individual, 

it will endure, 

it will endure, 

[chorus 2x] 

everyone would think for themselves, 

this would defeat its own purpose in the midst of terror
