The Taker Story - Chicano Batman

Can you name me a living creature

That kills all it’s competitors for food?

And when they’re gone he kills the

Competitors of its food’s food too

I’m talking about the birds, the aphids

The insects, and the trees

Cuz' there’s innumerable extinct species among these

We’ve been enacting a story for 12,000 years

The one that says that man must follow no natural law

The one that says that man is distinctly separate

From every living thing

That man is the end result of evolution

That man is the end result of evolution

Yes the clan of Cain killed the clan of Abel

So that Cain could bear the fruit of Abel’s land

So man has been killing his brother from the

Beginning of the agricultural revolution

Mass killings and mass graves, globalization of slaves

Genocide and extinction

All the functions of civilization

Mass killings and mass graves, globalization of slaves

Genocide and extinction

All the functions of civilization

Yes you know that the war will never be over

Cuz' war is our bread and butter

Cuz' we’re living a lie that says there’s no place for any other

Living creature that doesn’t think like you and me

Yes now we’re going to the root of the Taker Story:

We decide what’s good and bad for the entire universe

And if what you do don’t work for us we’ll turn you into dust

You savages are wild so naked and so free

If you don’t want to die you have to live like me

You Takers take and take and take and take and take

You Takers take and take and take and take and take

So even though you won’t believe it native people are still around

They treat the earth with respect they know it’s sacred ground

They live in remote places the takers still can’t colonize

They are the true voice of reason they have nature’s eyes

They’ve been enacting the story for 3 million years

The one that says that human must obey natural law

The one that says that human is connected to every living thing

That man is only one strand in the web of life

Take the dagger out your mind

Take the Taker out your soul

When you do you’ll find

The Taker’s lost control

The Taker’s lost control

The Taker’s lost control

The Taker’s lost control

The Taker’s lost control

The Takers take and take and take and take and take

The Takers take and take and take and take and take
