Man Vs. Ape Lyrics - Singles - Eyedea

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 you're 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 

(???) 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 takes the same place as Hiroshima 

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 

Grindin' my teeth as I'm battling uphill 

The fight against ape-hood is fate versus free will 

We think we're 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
