lyrics

Ape to man that’s the process, if you like you can call it progress. Spark the flame of intuition, bone to the brain of the competition. Bone then spear, flint then fire. Climb the evolutional ladder higher, rung by rung to Babylon, the apex of a long, long fall.
Planets align now we’re doing fine. Technology is evolution of the mind, but we were damned from the start, crushed by the weight of the monolith. Planets align now we’re doing fine. Technology is evolution of the mind, but we were damned from the start, crushed by the weight of the monolith.
Cro-Magnon pioneers with spears went forth without fear to explore and become conquistadors and discover the new world. Civilization booms to the tune of industrial gloom, we need more room. Manifest destiny, atomic revolution.
Planets align now we’re doing fine. Technology is evolution of the mind, but we were damned from the start, crushed by the weight of the monolith. Planets align now we’re doing fine. Technology is evolution of the mind, but we were damned from the start, crushed by the weight of the monolith.
No solution for our evolution, intuition was crushed by the weight of the monolith.
