Black Comedy - Prime Specimen

Prime Specimen

Let's set aside for a moment
The idealogical connotations of the debate
And take a minute to reflect and acknowledge
Our true nature seems no different than amoebae
And I contemplate, ambivalently, over humanity's behaviour
The strides and turns throughout our fraught history
And how we tend to out – complete the very things we depend upon

[Chorus:]
Swept away – even as our surroundings succumb we cannot find a way out
Procreate – a higher purpose is a figment of our imagination

Sex – the very things that all sentient life-forms share
The basic premise for species' continuation
Funny how it makes us cast aside our attributes of rational thinking
Added irony, our basic urge to disseminate our genes
Turns out to be our most destructive weapon

The quintessential program which we are all equipped is a double edged sword

[Chorus:]
Swept away – even as our surroundings succumb we cannot find a way out
Procreate – a higher purpose is a figment of our imagination [x2]

Our evolution is interdependency by design
Or is it disparity with impunity?

Swept away…

[Chorus:]
Swept away – even as our surroundings succumb we cannot find a way out
Procreate – a higher purpose is a figment of our imagination

And we assume nothing, nothing of this world
Still believe there's an intelligent force behind our existence?
