Evolution Lyrics - Ivan Lins

We can travel to the planets Drive a mile through solid granite 

Thrive in all extremes of weather But we cannot live together 

We have pondered our existence 

Tracked the comets in the distance 

But we're overcome with blindness 

By an act of human kindness 

We have ventured where 

None have gone before us 

But in matters fundamental 

We are patterned on an old design 

Welcome back Tyrannosaurus 

Evolution is a state of mind

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

We have filled the halls of science 

With the bones of mighty giants 

They'd all been there for generations 

Buried under our foundations 

It's a page right out of history 

Everything is still a mystery 

All except for one distinction 

We can stop our own extinction 

Photos 

We have set ourselves apart 

From all that's gone before us 

But in matters fundamental 

We are victims of an old design 

Here's your chance Tyrannosaurus 

Maybe we can get it right this time 

Grab a club and join the chorus 

Evolution is a state of mind
