lyrics

Rising up from the mud. Rising up from the murky mud homo erectus has begun to emerge, coded for the adapting. Panic, from the new danger. One chance to decide whether to live or die. Coded for adaptation. Protein based survival mechanisms. Coded for adaptation. Protein based survival mechanisms. Coded for adaptation. Protein based survival mechanisms. Passed from mother to the child, protecting the strongest at best. To have foreseen the world as it devours. When a situation is so unprecedented that no amount of knowledge or experience is adequate to master it, then the ignorant are more fit to deal with it than the learned and experienced. The unknown and untried give it, as it were, a special fitness to the unfit. The unfit as it were. Facing the unknown. Facing the unknown without knowledge of the dangers laying ahead. Now run and hide. Lead us to our path. Now run and hide. Lead us to our path where we have been yearning to learn as one. Driven to adapt into more than we thought we had built inside our heads. Born as the plan for the next teachers of the way to survive and delay danger and senseless thinking. Struggle to keep alive one sapien. Would you believe they hadn't the mind to have foreseen?
