lyrics

Bipedal
Omnivorous
Got a hunger
No stopping us

From the treetops to the great plains
From the great plains to the caves
Living through the dark days of the ice age
To the birth of the modern age

From the fireside to the neon light
From the fist fight to the firefight
To the billboards and the high rise
and the smart phones and the cheap flights

We’re the apes with the finest minds
And fingers and thumbs and feet
We’re the latest in a long line
Fine specimens of a fine breed

We got the biggest brains, we got the biggest brains
Top of the food chain babe
Top of the world
Cos it was there for the taking
So we’re taking it all
We’re so highly evolved
We’re take take taking it all

From the lambchop to the pork pie
From the pork chop to the rib eye
And a sausage roll and a burger in a bun now
eating meat by the metric tonne (now)

But we never wield the knife
Too highly evolved to take life
You know we’d never hurt a fly
Goddammit we’re civilised

It comes shrink wrapped, clean in a pack
No blood no fur no fat
No cry no pity no pain
No backbone
No brain

CHORUS

From the Nike to the Rolex
From the Gucci to the goretex
Cos you’re worth it, and you’ve earned it
You’re a star now, you deserve it
From the strip mine, to the strip mall
From the sweat shop to the chain store
Every new model, gotta own it
And the landfill will never hold it, no

It’s got a liquid crystal screen
HD and crystal clear
Pay it back on a twelve month plan
Upgrade in about a year.

The fittest
The finest
The strongest
Survivors
The reckless
The mindless
The blindest leading the blind
