Lyrics
Darwin said your day would come, yes
Darwin said your day would come.
If you’re strong than you’ll have won.
Darwin said your day would come.
Darwin was a friend of mine
He kissed my feet and served me wine
He was weak, but he was one.
Darwin knew his day would come.
Dylan knew the answers there, yes
Dylan knew the answers there.
As the wind would blow his hair,
Dylan told them, "Don’t be scared."
When the pressure gets too high I
Divide. Like an ocean,
That’s crossing my mind.
Jesus was a friend of mine, yes
Jesus was a friend of mine. He
Told me if I stayed in line, he’d
Pardon me for all my crimes.
Jesus never came to see, just
How my life turned out to be.
Now I’m begging on my knees, that
Nazareth won’t ever see.
Clinton was an honest man,
Yes Clinton was an honest man.
Didn’t know that he’d be damned, but
Billy cam as close he can.
Chorus
Clones are not the end of life, no
Clones are not the end of life.
Split an atom with a knife, there’s
Nothing left to clonify.
Sacred tales will soon be told, yes
Sacred tales are always told.
As we travel down the road,
Pilgrimages will unfold.
Let me tell the brethren now,
Let me tell the brethren how I
Fucked the goat and killed the sow.
They made me pray, and than leave town.
Chorus.
