Chris Smither - Origin of Species lyrics

(intro guitar riff) Well, Eve told Adam Snakes? I've had 'em! Let's get outta here! Go raise this family someplace outta town They left the garden just in time With the landlord cussin' right behind They headed East And they finally settled down One thing led to another: A bunch of sons One k**ed his brother And they kicked him out with nothin' but his clothes And the human race survived 'Cause all those brothers found wives But where they came from Ain't nobody knows (guitar riff) Then came the flood Go figure... Just like New Orleans only bigger No one who couldn't swim would make it through The lucky ones were on a boat Think "circus" And then make it float I hope nobody pulls the plug on you! How they fed that crowd is a mystery It ain't down in the history But it's a cinch they didn't Live on cakes and jam Lions don't eat cabbage And in spite of that old adage I ain't never seen one Lie down with a lamb (long guitar riff) Well, Charlie Darwin looked so far Into the way things are He caught a glimpse of God's Unfolding plan God said: "I'll make some DNA" They can use it any way they want From paramecium Right up to man." "They'll have s** And mixed up sections of their code They'll have mutations... The whole thing works like clockwork over time." "I'll just sit back in the shade While everyone gets laid That's what I call Intelligent design." Yeah, you and your cat named Felix Both wrapped up in that double helix Is what we call Intelligent design
