One dark night there was a big bang
Maybe a small bang, actually, more of a pop
But, whatever it was, something went off
Yeah

That was the first time we started as pond slime
But now we are growing with none of us knowing
Where we are going...
Where we are going...

Must I evolve?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I change?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I develop?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Can I stay the same?
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

We're proud of ourselves, we're two single cells
Now it gets exciting, because cells start diving
A new organism: now we can go swimming
In the primordial soup

Now is the time to come out of the water
Puffing and panting on to dry land
I held your hand on a rocky shoreline
I stood erect for the very first time
I'm so glad, yeah, I'm so glad

Looking for shelter we're looking for trouble
Now we're building a home
Out of the rubble we moved in together
You painted a wall, I discovered fire
Even giants started small

Must I evolve?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I change?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I develop?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Can I stay the same?
No, no, no, no

Must I grow up?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I grow old?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I join in?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
And do as I'm told?
Yes, yes, yes, yes

Must I mature?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
How come you're so sure?
Yes, yes
Must I evolve?
Yes, yes
Must I endure?
Yes, yes

I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
I'm so glad, I'm so glad, so glad
And now we're back in the stone age...
Back in the stone age
The mind in the cane, out of your mind at a rave

I walked through a tunnel backwards through time
Dragging my knuckles, listening to
Frankie Knuckles
Someone has lost their drugs in the long grass
Cars pass by
And the occasional badger

I entered a dance-off, you laughed your head off
Afterwards steaming, like a horse in the morning
After a race, I looked in your face
Universes multiplied, still we were not satisfied
Still we were not satisfied, still we were not satisfied

In caverns underground stalactites are forming
Someone is wearing hot pants in the morning
And we are growing taller and taller
Taller and taller, taller and taller
Taller and taller, taller and taller
Taller and taller, taller and taller

Must I evolve?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I change?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I develop?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Can I stay the same?
No, no, no, no

Must I grow up?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I grow old?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I join in?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
And do as I'm told?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Must I mature?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
How come you're so sure?
Yes, yes
Must I evolve?
Yes, yes
Must I endure?
Yes, yes
