The first mosquito that bites hardly annoys
Ten billion parasites sucking leave the most choking
The conquest nearly absolute
nothing left for science to reproduce
(We are) our own pesticide

And the sermon speaks of progress so embrace the new religion
Witness miracles Speak in tongues Revel in tunnel vision
But the earth is eternal and it will heal in time
so much the more majestic devoid of human slime
(We are) our own pesticide
