Lyrics

De-Evolution
Copyright 2012 Charlie Camp

Something I don't understand
is the inability of a man
to take the writing on the wall for exactly what it means.
If she says he had to go,
he should have the sense to know
she's not in love any more

As it happens, more than not,
he gets angry at the thought
that he might really lose his prized possession
But women aren't to have and own and she'd be better off alone
than with a man like him

Chorus:
Is it De-Evolution we are heading to,
we are returning to (where we are going) it looks a lot like that

Is there De-Evolution way down in our genes Is that what this all means,
in the end? (Oh no, oh no)

Another thing that's bugging me
is how a man can be set free
with three or four or even more DWIs
Once he's back out on the streets
with the likes of you and me,
its just a matter of time...

and, just between me and you,
I enjoy a drink or two
to celebrate a job well done or just to un-wind
but I never drink alone and when its time to go home
I've always planned ahead

(chorus)

If a book of Holy words
were to accidentally burn
I could understand the need for a moral outrage
but when it turns to into revenge and lives are taken for amends ...
That's when you cross the line.

So, I don't know just why we think, we've come so far as human beings
when we can't even get along with our friends and neighbors
We post advice on the internet
that most of the world doesn't even get
It's all too much for me

(alt)
We socialize on the internet,
trade our stocks and make our bets,
We're not blind, we just refuse to see
