Chris Smither - Origin of Species lyrics



Eve told Adam, “Snakes, I’ve had ‘em,
Let’s get on out-a here.
Let’s raise these children someplace out of town.”
They left the garden just in time
With the land lord cussin’ right behind
They headed east and finally settled down.

One thing led to another,
A bunch of sons, one killed his brother
They kicked him out with nothin’ but his clothes.
The human race survived ‘cause all those brothers found wives,
Where they came from, ain’t nobody knows.

Then came the flood, go figure,
Just like New Orleans, only bigger,
No one who couldn’t swim would make it through.
Well, the lucky ones were on a boat,
Think circus, then make it float
And hope nobody pulls the plug on you.
How they fit that crowd is a myst’ry,
It ain’t down in the hist’ry,
But it’s a cinch they didn’t live on cakes and jam.
And lions don’t eat cabbage
And in spite of that old adage,
You will never seen one lie down with a lamb.

Well, Charlie Darwin looked so far in to the ways things are,
He caught a glimpse of God’s unfolding plan.
God said, “I’ll make some DNA,
They can use it any way
They want from paramecium right up to man.
They’ll have sex and mix up sections
Of their code, they’ll have mutations,
The whole thing works like clockwork over time.
I’ll just sit back in the shade
While everyone gets laid,
That’s what I call intelligent design.”

Yeah, you and your cat named Felix
You both wrapped up in that double helix,
That’s what we call intelligent design.
