"It's Evolution Baby !!!"

This song, I feel, pretty much sums up the human race (especially those of us in so called civilized countries) pretty well.

It very efficiently covers most of the social problems and such that we face as a society in VERY much condensed terms.


"Do the Evolution"
--Pearl Jam



"Woo..
Im ahead, Im a man
Im the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
Im at peace with my lust
I can kill cause in God I trust, yeah
Its evolution, baby

Im at peace, Im the man
Buying stocks on the day of the crash
On the loose, Im a truck
All the rolling hills, Ill flatten em out, yeah
Its herd behavior, uh huh
Its evolution, baby

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my song, heres my coat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is free
Ill do what I want but irresponsibly
Its evolution, baby

Im a thief, Im a liar
Theres my church, I sing in the choir:
(hallelujah hallelujah)

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my song, admire my clothes
cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant indians got nothin on me
Nothin, why?
Because, its evolution, baby!

I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now Im higher
Twenty-ten, watch it go to fire
Its evolution, baby (2x)
Do the evolution
Come on, come on, come on"

I liked the music video when it came out, of course that was a long time ago, when i actually watched tv...

Anyways, its a decent song, but its nothing new. The punk industry (real punk, no emo) has been putting out revolutionary idea's in music for 20+ years now. Hell even the industrial music scene has been saying some of the same things.

Very true.

However, I feel this song is directed at more IMPORTANT human issues than most songs. Most of them piss and moan about whiny nothingness hahaha.

Trent Reznor has thrown his hat into the foray lately, and EVEN THOUGH I'm a psycho fan of NiN, he should leave it alone hahaha....it just makes the music bad.
