Homo Sapien
with apologies to Peter Shelley (kinda)
Are you kind sir?
Do you mind sir?
Will you find
That I'm homo sapien too?
What's the crime, sir?
What's the rhyme, sir?
Is there time
Am I a homo sapien too?
What we did, sir
Kept it hid, sir
Under the lid
I'm just a homo sapien too
And you're homo sapien too
Am I homo sapien like you?
Homo superior
Fashionable exterior
What do you fear
That we're homo sapien too?
Freely chosen
Quickly frozen
On the nose
Am I a homo sapien like you?
From the pages
Various stages
Through the ages
I'm a homo sapien too
And you're a homo sapien too
Am I homo sapien like you?
In the stack sir
Everything's whack sir
Take a crack
Am I homo sapien too?
Are you homo sapien too?
Are we homo sapien too?
Can we classify each other like animals in the zoo?
And put down each other the way that homo sapiens do?
And destroy each other through the telephone lines every day?
And fake a sincerity that only pushes farther away?
Will you stop up your ears and your nose and not hear about love?
And reject things you know really and truly come from above?
I don't want to classify you like an animal in the zoo
But do you see me yeah see me as homo sapien too?
In the air sir
Is it fair sir
If I care
That you're homo sapien too?
We're all homo sapien too
We're all homo sapien too
We're all homo sapien too
