Universal Mind Moods Super good track by Gom Jabber. It's humorous and true. It's about us as a whole. It's insightful.

lyrics

people
na-na-na-na

we got Christians
and Muslims and Hindus
all agree that our essence is love

but then we lock our doors
and shutter windows
knowing what all we're capable of

yeah we got Shakespeare
Voltaire and Sartre
they taught us what it is to be good
(everyone wants to be good)

yet we're scared when
somebody darker
jogs around our neighborhood

now
we've come a long way
since some proteins made connection
(lo-lo-long way)
we've gotten real good
at not dying from infection

we're just not too good at
being people
na-na-na-not so good at people

most of us (people)
make terrible people
and all the worst people
are people like us

na-na
na-na-na-na

silver lining in our situation
we're just failing
our own QA process

got high hopes
for the next generation
stuff their baggage
with our secret sauces

and we know they mostly don't work
every saint was a consummate jerk
every prophet—
betrayed by his own people
and every leader
who slayed his own pe-op-le...

now!
we've come a long way
since a strange fish left the ocean
we've gotten real good
at playing guitar with distortion

but we still suck at being people
na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na

the only evil I've seen
lives in people
just like me
