Hard contemporary folk and acoustic rock
Lyrics
Let me tell you now of the origin of man
Whose history goes far back and hazy
And perhaps when I'm finished you will understand
How it ever came to get this crazy
Forty million years ago give or take a year or two
Lived an ape in the jungle that resembled me and you (but more hairy)
He first thought a change of diet might be something really great
So scientists call him a prime-ate
Ramapithecus used a club on the other pithecies head
And when he used that club of bone everyone lay dead
With deftly wielded strokes he soon became a simian prince
Started a tradition that's flourished ever since
Down the line came homo erectus which isnt what it sounds
He used to shape the stones that were lying on the ground
Stone age man soon became the plan among the anthropod set
We were throwing stones at an early age and we aint stopped throwing yet
Homo sape just means wise ape, though I think he's overrated
Neanderthals came with the ice age reign but very soon they were all outdated
We were standing tall, and painting cave walls with graffiti every morning
Forty thousand years ago as history was dawning
Sapiens Sapiens is modern man we've made it here at last
Living today is really ok in fact its a nuclear blast!
We've grown so wise, we rule the skies we can live in any old scene
The harmless chimp now flies a blimp we're an evolved killing machine
