Altering The Future

(Lyrics: C.Schuldiner; Music: C.Schuldiner/T.Butler)
Creating a life only to destroy
Saved from a life of the unemployed
Where crime is the only way to survive
Which is the best, to be dead or alive?
Maybe no chance, but maybe not
Born to be thrown in the trash to rot
To exist in this world might be a mistake
The one who is with child, it's their choice to make
Death and live taken so easily
Right or wrong, who's choice will it be?
Abortion, when it is needed
Execution, for those that deserve it
The giving and taking of the life will always be
Altering the future
Solo : Shuldiner, Murphy
Look into the future to prepare us for our fate
Controlling our existence with every life we take
Life for a life should remain the rule
The innocent victim, that is what's cruel
Loon to the past is what we should do
When justice was done and justice was true
Using our laws to help their escape
An easy way out is what they create
Claiming insane is the way to freedom
People are stupid enough to believe them
(Repeat 2nd verse)
