Vanity lyrics

I'll strike it if I don't like it

Gimme a club and I will have myself a riot

I'm a monkey with a brick on my shoulder

And I'm getting bolder

Let's deny and defame

Let's destroy and recreate in our glorious name

And when the joke of our centrality is upon us

Grovel and decry

Our vanity

Disgraced to face our own humanity

In a world that mocks our tragedy

Hyper-aware and impaired

Terrified by nature's mocking stare

Yearning for significance beyond our animal kin

On which we do depend

Such vanity

Isolated with our own inanity

Entangled by our callow gravity

Disgraced to face our own humanity
