Thumbs Up?

Thumbs Up? (MP3)

Dm7 / B dim / Dm6

lyrics

It's a medical miracle
An erect vertebrate
Turning the Stone Age
Into modern day

An animal with a will
A mammal with a soul
Able to overcome "dumb"
With the use of the thumb
Builds a wheel that will spin
Once on a roll,
Will industrialize until...
There's no vacancy
For a landfill
Trying to win
By sacrificing
Everything

Keen vision
Yet, can't see
Social responsibility
King of the urban jungle
Leaving the world in a bungle
Gonna press and press and press
Until there's nothing but a mess

The most intelligent habitant of Earth
Has given birth
To an era of ignorance and arrogance
What a way to behave
Should we throw 'em to the lions
Or, shall we save?
Crossing all the lines
Of acceptability
Shedding civility
What do the Gods have to say
Thumbs up... or thumbs down
On this festival day
Shall we feed the felines
Or, is there some redeeming reason

No?  Can't make you smile
Only a frown
Sounds like thumbs down?
You say, "Survival of the fittest!"
Is the trial
And, you're up to your eyeballs
In this species feces

Damn this one
And, all the rest
The Space Age falls
Running out of space to age
The beast in a rage
They're done

To say the least...
The troubadour can endure no more
Putting the bull(shit) out of misery
Driving the final lance to victory
