The sleepy ninja sits and waits, and silently he meditates
On the state of mind of mind of all mankind, and he's often shocked by what he finds
He wonders what we have to show for half a billion years or so
Of evolution's patient hand and mother nature's best laid plans.

CHORUS
Yet the world still turns (x2) We never learn, yet it still turns.
(When did it come to this I hear you say, I know we're only human after all) (x2)

Those we elect fail to protect and faith in truth is circumspect
And when we must our lives we must entrust to those who after power lust
The price so high that must be paid, all bound by fear to beds they made.
Our politicians hide their eyes, and hold belief in their own lies

CHORUS

The sleepy ninja lives in fear, the point of no return is near
For apathy there is no cure, and progress is the fatal lure
The ebb and flow begins to slow, and warmth is over-run by cold
These final words may go unheard, complacency is so absurd

CHORUS

???? ??? ???????????, ???? ??? ?????!
