Worst Evolution

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Woke up this morning with a tail where my spine should be

Somewhere down the line I lost the thumbs that made me free

My ancestors were climbing trees

Now I drag these knuckles on the ground

I traded clever hands for clumsy feet

And a growl that can't pronounce a sound

Pre-Chorus

They said adapt or perish

Well I perished and I stayed

They said the strong survive it

I survived and I got worse

Chorus

This is the worst evolution

A backward crawl a sorry crawl

This is the worst evolution

I got smaller I got slow

No wings no fins no grand solution

Just a wobble and a fall

This is the worst evolution

And I'm here for it all

Verse 2

My cousin got the feathers and the sky

My brother got the poison and the crown

I got a squishy body and a worried eye

And a hunger that keeps pulling me down

Darwin wrote me in the margin in a tiny little hand

Said sorry kid you missed the point again

No ladder here just a shifting sand

And a body that forgot its friends

Pre-Chorus

They said adapt or perish

Well I perished and I stayed

They said the strong survive it

I survived and I got worse

Chorus

This is the worst evolution

A backward crawl a sorry crawl

This is the worst evolution

I got smaller I got slow

No wings no fins no grand solution

Just a wobble and a fall

This is the worst evolution

And I'm here for it all

Bridge

Maybe next millennium

Maybe next millennium

I'll sprout a proper limb

Maybe next millennium

I'll figure out the trick of it

Maybe next millennium

Breakdown

Mud and moss and mild regret

Slither slide and pirouette

Mud and moss and mild regret

Slither slide and pirouette

Chorus

This is the worst evolution

A backward crawl a sorry crawl

This is the worst evolution

I got smaller I got slow

No wings no fins no grand solution

Just a wobble and a fall

This is the worst evolution

And I'm here for it all

And I'm here for it all

And I'm here for it all
