Rise And Fall Of Intelligent Design Lyrics - Sex And Gasoline - Rodney Crowell

If I could have just one wish 

Maybe for an hour 

I wanna be a woman 

And feel that phantom power 

Maybe I'd wanna stick around for a while 

Until my heart got broke 

Maybe then I could find out if I'm a half decent man 

Or if I'm just a joke 

If I could be the first woman president 

I'd take on air pollution 

I'd walk the streets of Baghdad at dawn 

To find the real solution 

I'd bear my soul for the people to read 

I'd make my secrets known 

I'd rather really be assassinated first day in office 

Or die somewhere alone

It's no excuse to be obtuse 

It's no excuse to be deaf, dumb and blind 

When evolution is a thing of no use 

It likes to call itself intelligent design 

So here's the world in the palm of my hand 

How come I'm feeling so tender 

It's a man's world, I've heard it since birth 

I'm out of touch with my gender 

I wanna feed the hungry, I wanna heal the sick 

I wanna stifle the causes of suffering and hate 

I wanna know my enemy by the look in its eyes 

I wanna stop on this madness before it's too late 

I don't care if you think I've gone crazy 

Messianic delusion is a back breaking crime 

I've got a dog and a gold fish and a friend in the navy 

Don't know nothing about intelligent design

It's no excuse to be brutal 

It's no excuse to be vile 

It's no excuse to wanna die for religion 

I harm an innocent child 

It's no excuse to be a slick politician 

When the whole New Orleans is drowning in brine 

I'm not mistaken, it was Darwin's position 

That the whole new evidence is caused by intelligent design
