The New Tower (Genesis 11)

[Intro] [Preface] We know exactly what to do. Our high morals are so true. Only our ideas are right, To make the future good and bright. [Verse 1] It's once again that same old lie, We want to build a tower high, Reaching up to touch the sky, Pretending now that we can try. [Chorus] Building the tower of Babel once more, Overconfidence galore. We put our attitudes on the throne, Like we could solve it on our own. Wanting to save the world by our behaviour, While forgetting the true Saviour. [Verse 2] The system's got an answer clear: Insurance plans to calm your fear, Pretending that salvation's near – Yet folks can't talk or even hear [Verse 3] Security to sweetly bind The welfare state to numb the mind. All opinions are aligned. No higher meaning left to find. [Chorus] Building the tower of Babel once more, Overconfidence galore. We put our attitudes on the throne, Like we could solve it on our own. Wanting to save the world by our behaviour, While forgetting the true Saviour. [Bridge] Scrape the sky with lies we tower, False promises piled up by the hour. Overcoming the division is an illusion In this Babylonian tongues' confusion. Don't dream of a new humanity! Who can stop this insanity? [Chorus] Building the tower of Babel once more, Overconfidence galore. We put our attitudes on the throne, Like we could solve it on our own. Wanting to save the world by our behaviour, While forgetting the true Saviour. [Verse 4] Round in circles we all go Pretending now that we all know Solutions we pretend to show But still the gap does only grow. [Chorus] Building the tower of Babel once more, Overconfidence galore. We put our attitudes on the throne, Like we could solve it on our own. Wanting to save the world by our behaviour, While forgetting the true Saviour.
