Zhir Vengersky - Day the Fish Came Out

First you was a tadpole long and thin
Then you was a froggy with your tail tuck'd in
Then you was a baboon in a tropical tree
Now you're a human here in front of me

And ain't it just a drag
Ain't it just a drag

You can hope, you can pray
Or try to run away
We all were doomed the day
The fish came out and walked
We've built and destroyed and terraformed
We splice up your genes before you're born
We use up the soil and burn the trees
We shoulda just stayed under the sea

First you was a fish with gills and scales
Then you was a reptile with a whiplike tail
Then you was a chimp in the underbrush
Now you're just some guy like the rest of us

And ain't it just a drag
Ain't it just a drag

You can hope, you can pray
Or try to run away
We all were doomed the day
The ape cut off his tail
We know how to set the sea on fire
We throw ourselves on a great big pyre
Tyrants speed past hoboes with fleas
We never shoulda left the trees

First you was a tadpole long and thin
Then you was a froggy with your tail tuck'd in
Then you was a baboon in a tropical tree
Now you're a human here in front of me

And ain't it just a drag
Ain't it just a drag

You can hope, you can pray
Or try to run away
We all were doomed the day
The fish came out and walked
We've built and destroyed and terraformed
We splice up your genes before you're born
We use up the soil and burn the trees
We shoulda just stayed under the sea
