I'm digging with my fingertips
I'm gripping at the ground I stand upon
I'm searching for fragile bones
Evolution

I'm never gonna be refined
Keep trying but I won't assimilate
Should we have come far in time?
Watch the bough break

And I'm sorry, I don't believe
By the evidence that I see
That there's any hope left for me
It's evolution, just evolution

And I, I do not dare deny the basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside

Close up to get a real good view
I'm betting that the species will survive
Hold tight, I'm getting inside you
Evolution

And when we're gonna find these bones
They're gonna want to keep them in a jar
The number one virus caused by
Procreation

And the planet may go astray
In a million years I say
Those motherfuckers were all deranged
It's evolution, just evolution

And I, I do not dare deny the basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside

Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed

Take a look around
Take a look around
Take a look around
(Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around

Take a look around
(Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
Take a look around
(Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around

I, I do not dare deny the basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside

Why, why do I deserve to die?
Why?
