He goes to the plain to hunt He goes to the trees
He draws on his cavern walls the things that he sees
He masters the animals He worhips to the sky
He fishes in the oceans and he bleeds his brother dry
He thinks he is intelligent He prints well with his inks, but
He unloads all his waste and filth in water that he drinks
He cooks above an open flame He eats beside it's hue
He sleeps near it for comfort but destroys things with it too
He’s deep in every one of us He makes us what we are
He works toward a "better place" but leaves behind a scar
We must learn to control him before he goes too far
He makes his weapons strong and firm He conquers all around
He lays waste massive areas of beauty He has found
He builds towards the treetops to save space on the ground
But Soon the trunk is rotten through He quickly pulls it down
He really has developed well these last few thousand years
He's built up massive industries and flown to other spheres, but
He hasn't really changed that much He hasn't learned at all
He still makes all the same mistakes He made when he was small
He’s deep in every one of us He makes us what we are
He works toward a "better place" but leaves behind a scar
We must learn to control him before he goes too far
The Man Inside, the Man Inside
He carries on regardless He burns up all his fuels
Those who try to put him right He looks upon as fools
Hopefully he'll listen soon before his world runs out
He knows he must deep in his soul He's filled himself with dought
He’s deep in every one of us He makes us what we are
He works toward a "better place" but leaves behind a scar
We must learn to control him before he goes too far
The Man Inside, the Man Inside
I guess we could call an aspect of this concept 'The Reptilian Brain' or 'R Complex', the idea that there is a primitive inside us all, only interested in survival, at all costs. But that is balanced by the 'good' side of us which desires to improve our lot and devlop our consciousness
A philosophical discussion 'down the pub' (as usual at that time), about the battle between our destructive side, and the havoc it has reaped, and our more enlightened side, led to these lyrics which we later put to music
