[Verse One: Adam WarRock]
...And we came from primordial ooze
Where we crawled across the beaches, to show and to prove
That evolution got us changing, while we broke all the rules
And all the times before, when blind men they used to play the blues
So you, take a little break from the bread and bu*ter though
When I got you locked up in the figure four
When I got you on the floor, getting ready to dance
With a hand in your pocket, in case you're feelin' so
Sentimental, elemental changes got the rocks we climbed over
Great mountains now boulders, and rivers carved a path the in giant's shoulders
And mitosis, each branch we broke that weighed heavy on the tree
Steady on our knees as the sun, it warmed us steadily
And strengthened each, so we held on to each other as we
Protected from predators that tried their best to get their feast
Salt water dried, and the sweat burned our eyes
Developing systems inside made it harder for us to find
Satisfaction
So finally we stood
Found at least the land was ours for good
Cause you know we're from...
[Hook]
Earth
Was my place of birth
Born to be the sole ruler
Of the universe, yeah
Primordial ooze keeps dripping from my tongue
And we just keep walking 'til this journey is done
[Verse Two: Adam WarRock]
...And we found our way
Fire and cave paintings, inspired to make tools
So we could find a shady place to maybe make babies
And a town to seek haven
And a rock to cave the face in of anyone trying to play me
Grunts and spittle, it changed 'til we found our way
So that we could say all that's on our brains
So we found a way
To predict the rain
So the people would say
Back then, you either had game or you didn't
I mean game, that you could eat and sleep within it
And sleep presented dreams of stars and cities, and taught our hearts to pity
Made our souls black with all the hatred and vengeance sitting
We still say 'Crawl before you walk before you run'
And the blood we spill is salty, cause you know we're from...
Tribes in the packs who would run on the range
Whips on their backs and their wrists in those chains
Soon as we gave them religion and pain
People made money, it's all in the game
Put up a scapegoat to take all the blame
Stone him to d**h while he sits on the stage
Toss out his body and take all his change
Back to the ocean, that place where we came
[Hook]
Earth
Was my place of birth
Born to be the sole ruler
Of the universe
Primordial ooze keeps dripping from my tongue
And we just keep walking til this journey is done
Swim before you crawl, crawl before you walk
Walk before you run, run before you're done
Back into the sea, that place from where we've come
Ash to ash, dust to dust, now we're having fun.[x3]
