Story Behind The Song

Evolution...

Lyrics

I'm not sure where it came from
I got a short-term memory
Some people say I was put
here by divinity
Others claim it all began
When I fell down from the trees
soon after got my thumb
So I could work my remote with ease
(Work my remote with ease)

Well there's safety in numbers
So I got the clan together
Found a cave and made my bed
I started dressing in leather
I made some spears and learned to hunt
I utilized my ecology
I needed words to express myself
Look up etymology

Now there's concrete everywhere I go
And on a thousand different channels there's always a show
I can use dead dinosaurs to fuel my car
dash to Burger Mart and get a dinner already charred


Well like the president and the pope
It began brawn versus brain
I discovered religion
Put my fear in the unexplained
Received the gift of Prometheus
A centerpiece for when we camp
Learned to write the alphabet
Engraving gives me Writer's cramp

[Chorus]
Now there's concrete everywhere I go
And on a thousand different channels there's always a show
I can use dead dinosaurs to drive my car
dash to Burger Mart and get a dinner already charred

began the class War 101
The fascination is killing me
So many ways to suicide
Let's hear it for technology
So people say I'll be extinct
By the swipe of my own hand
Another species lost to time
Buried deep beneath the sand

Now there's concrete everywhere I go
And on a thousand different channels there's always a show
I can use a lightning box to drive my car
dash to Burger Mart and get a dinner already charred
