What's a man but a naked ape
Just trying to make it from day to day
'Cus what's a man but a naked ape
But with fantasies of making a great escape
What's a man but a naked ape
Its amazing spectating it taking shape
What's a man but a naked ape
But every generation makes the same mistake
What's a man but a naked ape
What's a man but a naked ape
Yeah
Darwinian carving our lineage into
The stone age with shards of hard DNA
In the beginning we didn't need an Adam or Eve
Our ancestors inhabited trees
And handed down every habit that would have us succeed
At an increasingly gathering speed
Rapidly reproducing
How deep are the roots in your family tree?
How many branches on it
How many leaves?
And what's the plan when we leave for the
Savannas and plains since we abandoned the rain forest
Expand the terrain
Typical humans, look they're at it again
Never happy with the same thing
They have to seek change
And that's the reason why they keep succeeding at
Everything that life throws at
Them treating every challenge as a game
If you fail to adapt you will gradually endanger
The traits that made your race faster in the race
Wanna die like that?
Thought not, so fight back
Your genetic code isn't even written yet so write that
Knowing your otherwise gonna die is quite the catalyst
You're on a Deoxyribonucleic acid trip
From Ardipithecus Ramidus to
Australopithecus to an Instagram influencer
Chuck another pic at us
Picture this
We're a pick and mix of different bits
Tilt and shift
Tip and pitch
Twisted up in a helix
What's a man but a naked Ape
Just trying to make it from day to day
'Cus what's a man but a naked Ape
But with fantasies of making a great escape
What's a man but a naked Ape
It's amazing spectating it taking shape
What's a man but a naked Ape
But every generation makes the same mistake
What's a man but a naked Ape
We're the same family what can i say
What's a man but a naked Ape
With a little variation in facial shape
And what's an ape but another living thing
With some of the same DNA in another string
And what's a string of DNA but a cypher containing designs dictating
Our nature explaining in writing the laser
Precise undertaking we're staying alive for
But if we find out why
Will it make us any wiser?
Education the great equaliser
Keep up with rivals
Peep what their eyeballs are seeing
When they read anything but the Bible
We've booked your mind on a voyage with the beagle
The people better be ready for a big upheaval
Scholars bringing new knowledge
But the medieval elite theology will condemn and call it evil
Don't believe all the evidence you've been brought?
Feel free to leave then
It's better for the gene pool
Ever since we crawled fresh from the fetal
Deep pool we call the sea to the preschool
There've been people trying to make it illegal
To climb higher than the steeple of a cathedral
But it's deceitful and lethal
We need reason to reach freedom
And leave from the prequel
Reboot from the seeds to the root of
The tree 'til were reaching the truth
And we're eating the fruit
Like an Ape in the canopy
What can i say we're the same family?
Like an Ape in the canopy
What can i say we're the same family?
What's a man but a naked Ape
Just trying to make it from day to day
'Cus what's a man but a naked Ape
But with fantasies of making a great escape
What's a man but a naked Ape
It's amazing spectating it taking shape
What's a man but a naked Ape
But every generation makes the same mistake
Just trying to make it from day to day
'Cus what's a man but a naked ape
But with fantasies of making a great escape
What's a man but a naked ape

What's a man but a naked ape

What's a man but a naked ape
