Man X went up to Man Y,
|
Stepped in his garden and spat in his eye
|
And said 'I ain't movin' your grass is greener-
|
You wanna settle this name your arena'
|
|
First we made the Wheel
|
Then we made the Car
|
Then we made the Bomb
|
Now it's all gone wrong
|
|
We used to be content with a piece of charcoal
|
Sketching on walls in a gloomy dark hole
|
Then we put our strengths into building castles
|
Now we're a tribe of destructive arseholes
|
Crawled on all fours our hands replaced paws-
|
As if we foresaw we would open doors
|
From trees we made oars to explore the shores
|
We were madly obsessed with the great outdoors
|
But not in that order I hear you moanin
|
But what can you tell from a fossilised stone
|
In a pile of bones the truth becomes clear
|
We Pioneered schemes just too severe
|
Way back then there were few concerns
|
Find meat to eat, chop wood to burn
|
And learn to avoid the sabre-toothed tiger
|
Now our biggest enemy is laser-guided
|
Too much weight draped on our shoulders
|
The land that we knew stood firm to hold us
|
Colonisation is what they sold us
|
So someone decided we needed soldiers
|
Destructive forces is what they told us
|
Invent the engine replace the horses
|
We stretched resources to drive our Porsches
|
And now it's all gone wrong
|
|
Man X had forgotten Man Y
|
He was too busy tryna learn to fly
|
Meanwhile Man Y mixed a potion
|
And flattened Man X with a huge explosion
|
|
You can turn your backs but you can't ignore me
|
There's a part of this story that's truly gory
|
You gotta feel sickness as I depict this
|
You never can escape that you've been a witness
|
Hunting the deer we became distracted
|
Disturbed by the way that our neighbours acted
|
Jumped to conclusions with sick delusions
|
Cause bulk intrusions had us confused
|
Began with the fusion of elements new
|
And strongly denied we'd developed a brew
|
To burn off flesh of an irrelevant few
|
A malevolent crew not benevolent
|
The traitor we hated penned the paper
|
Concocted a potion to make him greater
|
We knocked up a treat in a laboratory
|
At the time of conception it shouted glory
|
Reel off a list of the usual suspects
|
Subjectively speaking we all got defects
|
We all cavemen in a suit and tie
|
Man why you opposing conform or die
|
I know I've put it simply and quite condensed
|
The wheel was a brainstorm of commonest sense
|
But now we need a branch just for terror defence
|
So somewhere it went wrong, hence...
