You think you are the civilized epitome
Of earth and fire and water, wind and sky and sea
But we ride a slow train from hope to despair
And life's great mystery is reclining in your hair
Don't you know we just jumped out of a tree
Can't you see that we just jumped out of a tree
The earth is heating up and it's cooling down
There's planes falling out of the sky
The Ayatollah's screaming murder at some literary guy
Have we learned nothing about where we've been
Has all of history been nothing but a dream
Don't you know we just jumped out of a tree
Can't you see that we just jumped out of a tree
Beat your wings shake your tail
Stamp your feet wail and moan
Spread your wings and you will see
That we just jumped out of a tree
Have you been savaged by the sweet smell of success
Where nobody dares to say no and everybody's yelling yes
Thank God for my guitar and your pretty little dancing shoes
Better turn it up real real loud, we got nothing left to lose
Don't you know that we just jumped out of a tree
Can't you see that we just crawled out of the sea
Don't you know that we just jumped out of a tree
Can't you see that we just crawled out of the sea
Just jumped out of a, just jumped out of a
Just jumped out of a tree
Just jumped out of a tree
And this is the history so far of the 20th century
Just jumped out of a, just jumped out of a
Just jumped out of a, just jumped out of a tree
Just jumped out of a sea
Just crawled out of the sea
