Beasts In The Mirror

Right off the assembly line
we were all products of our times

Unfortunately our model has now been discredited
by flaws today condemned as defective

Maybe what we are can never be totally fixed
and perhaps we are lacking in modern efficiencies

No point trying to defend what use to be

It only comes off as lame rationalizations
but if you do choose to study history
in the rigid box of modern sensibilities
you'll never grasp the third dimension to these events
if you don't take the time to apply proper past context
