As It Were Lyrics - Victims Family

At the dawn of man they fell out of the trees. Down on the ground they 

crawled on their knees. Hair on their bodies, no clothes on their backs. 

Men stood up to begin the attack. 

Progress was made and Rome was begun. Fed the Christians to the 

lions just for fun. It burned to the ground while they fiddled around and 

down toppled towers that towered downtown. 

Now there's skyscrapers three mile high. Skyscrapers to the sky and 

people ask why? And you toot toots in three piece suits. And booming 

bombs to blow our bleeding brains to bits to boot. 

Wake up and face the facts. There is no turning back. The sands of time 

just grind along. They slip through our fingers like ideas for songs.
