I've got brains
Like antique floors
I built each one
On the one before
I use all three
But they don't agree
One of them
Wants to love you
Another one
Would love to club you
I guess my old natures
Move like glaciers
Chorus:
The fish became a lizard
The shrew became an ape
Will the ape become an angel?
The higher that we climb
The more the ladder sways
I'm the ba*tard child
The one who got
The head of Einstein
And the soul of Pol Pot
There's no compa**ion
But I can split the atom
Better give me a microscope
For a different eye
Better give me a telescope
For the inward sky
And a ladder leading
Up from Eden
Chorus
If Ramana Maharshi
Came from clay
There's more to evolution
Than a little DNA
Cut off the moorings
To the inward ark
Aiming it into
A question mark
The fish became a lizard
The shrew became an ape
Will the ape
Become a Mother Teresa?
She came from clay
There's more to evolution
Than a little DNA
