Baba Brinkman - Don't Sleep With Mean People lyrics

Sexual selection is twisted; it's not balanced It gives us the best of our gifts and odd talents Anything that's useless for survival like music Anything attractive, that charms and seduces Like language usage, my vocab is so fab I spin a web with it, and the centre is my gonads It's nothing but a mating dance I can admit it But I can't escape it, no chance, I'm locked in it Like a tree, deep rooted, so people see through it I'm a freak by nature thanks to evolution But so are you, the relevant dramas that you're goin' through Sexual selection selected them too So if you feel the hormone rush, testify! Try to see things objectively, but don't objectify It's the eyes, they can't take the pressure They try to stare at your breasts but I can make an effort The hours pa**, my power's sapped I can't choose an oblong physique over an hourgla** So it might seem like “mean” includes me You can't choose what to want, but you can choose what to eat Don't sleep with mean people – that's the anthem Please, think about your granddaughters and grandsons Don't sleep with mean people – pretty or handsome Mean people hold the gene pool for ransom Don't sleep with mean people – that's the anthem Please, don't reward your kids for throwin' tantrums Don't sleep with mean people – pretty or handsome If you wanna take the pledge, get your hands up So what if we really did it, this silly business? I mean use s** appeal to make a real difference Like a field mission, to seek and enjoy It's gotta be the most powerful tool we can employ We don't need Freud; Darwin has the answers Sexual selection can enhance us Let's make a competition out of altruism If someone gives enough to charity, you'd better frolic with them Generosity should be rewarded And celibacy enforced on those who try to keep and hoard it Of course I'm speaking mostly to women ‘Cause when it comes to reproduction you control the system Men have a supporting role to play But where you lead, best believe we'll follow with no complaint It's time for a gender-based intifada Aristophanes got it right with Lysistrata More than two millennia ago, women in the know Realized that it's a lie that ‘men are in control' So ladies, please, every time you fornicate Just keep in mind, the future is yours to shape Don't sleep with mean people – that's the anthem Please, think about your granddaughters and grandsons Don't sleep with mean people – pretty or handsome Mean people hold the gene pool for ransom Don't sleep with mean people – that's the anthem Please, don't reward your kids for thrown' tantrums Don't sleep with mean people – pretty or handsome If you wanna take the pledge, get your hands up
