Never Came Down
(It's like they never came down from the trees)
Ooh, ooh
Da da da da, dat 'n do de do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Rusty brings home flowers every Tuesday
Just to make his Suzie smile, yeah
His wife she never showers him with kisses
No that's really not her style
Rusty's got a way with other women
He's the King among the guys
His wife can spend his money
Just as long as baby Suzie has his eyes
I say, oh, how can anyone make sense of such a mess?
It's a bit of a mystery, I guess
It's like they never came down from the trees
Ooh, ooh, no they never came down
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, it's like they never came down
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, yeah
Quarters turn to nickels, turn to pennies
In the pockets of the poor
So hard to count your blessings
When a blessing's the only thing you can afford
Meanwhile in Manhattan, someone's selling stuff
That isn't worth a dime
It's just money making money for the millionaire
Who's busy serving time
And I say, oh, how can anyone make sense of such a mess?
It's a bit of a mystery, I guess
It's like we never came down from the trees
Ooh, ooh, no we never came down
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, it's like we never came down
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, yeah
How much time has evolution spent?
We've come so far up to the present tense
We can love, we can hate
Build a nest and choose a mate
But we should be so much more than that
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, it's like we never came down
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, yeah
We gotta learn to live, we gotta learn to give
We gotta learn to lend a helping hand
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah, we do
We gotta learn to care, we gotta learn to share
It takes more than a name to be a man
It's like we never came down from the trees
We gotta learn to live, we gotta learn to give
We gotta learn to lend a helping hand
(Gotta learn to lend a helping hand, yeah yeah)
(Gotta learn to lend a helping hand)
We gotta learn to care, we gotta learn to share
It takes more than a name to be a man
(Yeah, yeah, it takes more than a name to be a man)
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, it's like we never came down
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, it's like we never came down from the trees
