Jesse Dangerously - Primordial Ooze lyrics

[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]
