Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
I diggin' with my fingertips I'm gripping at the ground I stand upon I'm searching for fragile bones Evolution I'm never gonna be refined Keep trying but I won't assimilate Should we have come far in time Watch the ground break And I'm sorry that I don't believe By the evidence that I see That there's any hope left for me It's evolution Just evolution And I, I do not dare deny The basic beast inside It's right here It's controlling my mind And why do I deserve to die? I'm dominated by This animal that's locked up inside Close up to get a real good view I'm betting that the species will survive Hold tight, I'm getting inside you Evolution And when were gonna find these bones They're gonna want to keep them in a jar The number one virus caused by Procreation And the planet may go astray In a million years I say Those motherfuckers were all deranged It's evolution Just evolution And I, I do not dare deny The basic beast inside It's right here It's controlling my mind And why do I deserve to die? I'm dominated by This animal that's locked up inside Take a look around Nothing much has changed Take a look around Nothing much has changed Take a look around Take a look around Take a look around Take a look around Nothing much has changed Take a look around Nothing much has changed I, I do not dare deny The basic beast inside It's right here It's controlling my mind And why do I deserve to die? I'm dominated by This animal that's locked up inside Why? Why do I deserve to die? Why?
