As it were lyrics

Artist  : Victims family 
Song : As it were
 
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.
