Man vs. Ape - Eyedea & Abilities

Move!

There’s no telling what I’ma do

I’m eighty-thousand years of natural selection comin through

You ain’t got as much aggression, possessions, weapons

I’ll be damned if I get outdone by the next man

If your beliefs are different than mine, then we gonna fight

Who needs peace when you can profit from being right?

I hold picket signs outside abortion clinic doors

Take what I want with force

And my God could kill yours

Involved with a species evolving so slowly

Genetically infantile, violent and holy

We think we’re so smart but there’s not much to know

Caveman is still alive behind those robot eyes

Fully controlled by ten thousand year old instincts

Hands on the war button, flinch and your world’s extinct

This is technology for the barbarian

I see the future: the past, we’ll be there again

Remember, the atom bomb came from the same place as poetry

Die dirty hippy commie scum Christian Muslim Buddhist Jew

Democrat factory workin college student youth

My nervous system don’t take no bullshit

Been dominating since the day I touched the monolith

I only breed with sex-symbol worthy women

They stay at home and cook while I go out a make a living

Don’t challenge my ego, don’t step on my shoe

Otherwise the next wake that you attend might be for you

Grinding my teeth as I’m peddling uphill

The fight against ape-hood is fate versus free will

We think we’ve advanced but there’s nowhere to go

Mammals stay captive to animal actions

So slowly we climb up this DNA brick wall

Addicted to emptiness, anger and pitfalls

Desire for space, territory, or lust

We’ll eventually turn this whole planet to dust

There can be no peace when man is still a part of it

Purpose, perseverance, wordless amoeba surface

To lead the first coherent paleolithic circus

Specific neuro-circuits link man and Neanderthal

However, recent bio-chemical imprints conflict with primitive urges

It’s full blown ontological warfare

Murdering memories in the future two million years

Peace is a word we often say

But it can’t exist as long as the ape is here to stay
