about

Fourth single from the album "An Ape's Progress" (2021).

lyrics

Rabble with guns
Babbling in tongues
That’s just who we are
Eyes to the ground
As we orbit around
This yellow dwarf star
I wanna go back in time

Now I stand here a man
Wondering how it began
How did I come so far?
You’re standing with me
We’re at the edge of the sea
Understanding the stars
Staring at space-time
Stranded at the scene of the crime

Though the madness never ends
The universe still bends
All that once was old will soon be new again
We can discuss it in a song
But it won’t be very long
Till it’s all for nothing

Bad DNA
What can you say?
That’s our fatal flaw
The history of man
Just a flash in the pan
As the spaceship runs ashore
Wait five billion years
Till the Milky Way disappears

Though the madness never ends
The universe still bends
All that once was old will soon be new again
We can discuss it in a song
But it won’t be very long
Till it’s all for nothing

Earthling fraternity
Code word: absurdity
Trade in your vanity
For temporary sanity

Though the madness never ends
The universe still bends
All that once was old will soon be new again
We can discuss it in a song
But it won’t be very long
Till it’s all for nothing
