IF ANYONE CREDITED WANTS ME TO REMOVE THIS VIDEO, I WILL. JUST TELL ME, 'KAY?

I made the lyrics some time ago, but didn't get the time to do a decent job at singing it until now. Sure, I messed up a few words and my accent may be weird (I'm a swede, lol) but I like it. Kinda. If you find any grammatical errors in the lyrics, feel free to tell me and I'll see what I can do.

I'll probably re-do this when I've purchased proper recording equipment (I'm using the voice memo thing on my iPhone xD).

~Lyrics~
We'll kill some crows 'cause there's too many of them
We'll get rid of some monkeys 'cause there's too many of them
But we'll raise more pandas since there are few of them
And we'll raise more humans yet there's too many of them

While we've always been praying to God
Hoped for their mercy and giving them praise
It seems that mankind have turned into God
That's right, who do we think we are?

I have never seen the real thing or so
But I've seen them in art here and there
And the God I've always heard of in tales
Always has a human form
Could it be a coincidence?
Or maybe just a selfish sketch?
It's here and there and everywhere
What the hell did you mean, Da Vinci?!

Maybe an afterlife exists or doesn't
What about it?
If we're to reincarnate or if we're not to
Who cares?
Mankind are always egoistic
They insist there's more beyond
Even though we stand at the top of whatever we named it

If I was the one everybody calls "God"
And had the power to decide everything
I wouldn't create the world in seven days
I would certainly do things differently
I'd spend much more time on it
And make a proper plan about it
'Cause, look, since it was made in such a hurry
It's been cut and pasted, ruined
Brought down then brought forth
Why, you ask, why is it so?
You say that you have no clue
But you already know
Why is it so?
I'm telling you, it's because mankind are foolish
They should just perish at the count of
One, two, three 'cause I'm telling you, it's a matter of fact that we
Are born foolish and will die the same way
So it's just a waste to use our brain
We just look forward to ourselves in the next world
What about ourselves in this world?!
Come, let's be reckless! And then thoughtless!
Combine them and we'll make a mess!
Come, here's a veil and here's a mask
Wear them both and hide you task!

You say there's always a path to follow
Even when things are ruined
You were the one to throw away their doubt and you ask, what's next?
Although, however, how the heck could we possibly do that?
Whatever we say
Whatever we do
They say it's not good enough

Then what should we do?
Where should we heed our step?
We'll never be able to get there
So then
Where should we go?

Maybe an afterlife exists or doesn't
What about it?
If we're to reincarnate or if we're not to
Who cares?
If we'll go to heaven or deal with hell
So what?
If it isn't above us nor below us
The path could be right by our side
