New age mumbo-jumbo

Trivia
A grindcore song with some noisy touches. The arrangement is slightly influenced by early Carcass and Blood: it's an unusually long song for grindcore standards, you might almost call it "progressive grind" if you will! Haha!
Lyrics are a merciless mockery of new age and other spiritualistic philosophies, demolishing their assumptions about "our place in the universe", "harmony between living beings", "karma" and "rejection of ego". The cold hard truth is: we're all egotistical, self-interested beings, and no pretense of a "universal harmony between us" or a "common conscience we all share" can change this. Universal justice doesn't exist, and people who get wronged aren't always vindicated in the end: it's a war of all against all. Homo homini lupus.
Lyrics
Idealize the universe
As a sentient entity
Any fact that happens
Is part of a perfect order
You don't have to change things
Just leave 'em as they are
You have to put your mind
In harmony with the whole
"Give up on your selfishness!"
This is how you'll reach
The ultimate state of peace
By repressing your instinct
And accepting pain
"Don't worry: karma is gonna fix everything! What goes around, comes around!"
Stop this bullshit
This self-delusion
The universe is not
A cohesive entity
There's no harmony
There's no perfect order
There is only conflict
Between particular interests
Of individual living beings
Striving to survive
Selfish individualism
No alignment with harmony
There's no fucking karma (x 3)
No universal justice
What goes around
Doesn't always come around
Not a necessity
Only casuistry
New age mumbo-jumbo (x 3)
Superstitious crap
Another form of idealism
Desperate people cling to
In order to justify
The harshness of existence
