Baba Brinkman - Worst Comes To Worst 2.0 lyrics

Worst comes to worst, my people come first But my tribe lives on every country on earth I'll do anything to protect them from hurt The human race is what I serve Some people got good friend; I've got disparate friends They live on different ends of earth, but just pretend We actually get to the end of the time of tribalism Like Obama said, and dissolve the lines of difference As man advances in civilization And small tribes expand into larger bases And communities, the truest reason tells each individual That's it's not that difficult to extend our instinctual Sympathies to all members of one nation Like, for instance, notice how everybody loves Canadians Overseas, even if they're personally unknown Well so do I! But not so much when I come home When I meet them abroad, they're just more fun to know Or maybe when I'm away, I just let the love go Either way, what's to stop us extending these basic Sympathies to the people of all nations and all races I'm just takin' Charles Darwin's statements, and makin' Them rhyme, he was a man ahead of his time Extending his imagination and formidable mind Into a future where all human sympathies combine Worst comes to worst, my peoples comes first But my tribe lives on every country on earth I'll do anything to protect them from hurt The human race is what I serve In the South Pacific Islands, there's certain animals that don't Experience fear, like Galapagos iguanas They never had predators, so their adaptive responses Evolved to be as calm as a pack of Dalai Llamas So then, why do we have to live with violence When this whole planet could be like a pacifistic island? Do we need fear to escape invading aliens? The only predators here are called h*mo sapiens And yeah, we can be dangerous, but we can also be Motivated by affection and positive reciprocity Stop the violence, right? We can all agree! But violence comes from the fear of predators stalkin' me See, violence is never entirely senseless Natural selection, that's how you make sense of it We just gotta identify what triggers a threat switch And redesign society to disconnect it And then instinct will take care of the rest of it It's a simple idea, but when it's widely comprehended Then I predict a world of aligned interests Where the people are as peaceful as Galapagos finches Worst comes to worst, my peoples comes first But my tribe lives on every country on earth I'll do anything to protect them from hurt The human race is what I serve Where there's no pain There will be joy And where there's no fear There will be love There will be joy There will be love
