Darwin's Tribe

What this episode covers

Imagine no religion; I heard John Lennon say That sweet dream sadly seems remote as judgment day True believers on all sides have armed for holy war None of them can plainly say what they're fighting for Darwin’s Tribe; that’s what we seem to be Problems can’t be solved when we evolve so glacially Darwin’s Tribe, little seems to change We’re on a sinking ship with furniture to re-arrange Imagine no possessions, he wondered if we can Well we’re dumping them in landfills at a speed to break the bank Hunting and gathering in primal overdrive Until the stuff that we accumulate buries us alive Imagine no frontal lobe, no opposable thumb We’d be the same as any other creature we call dumb We’d have built no ships, sinking or otherwise No hell below us, above us only sky Imagine all the people, living for today Darwin’s tribe, none the wiser, long ago and far away Darwin’s tribe, none the wiser, long ago and far away Darwin’s tribe, none the wiser
