letra de darwin - john wesley harding

[verse 1]
the tourists get into their car
drive through the safari park
there’s animals you’ve only seen in books
and despite the helpful warnings
(you could read them in the dark)
they decide to try and get a closer look
they park the car and lock it ’cause you’re better safe than sorry
they try to make the lions look their way
and in a perfect kodak moment, well, they’re hunting for their car keys
as the lions come and bid them all good day
and thеy say:
[chorus]
“haven’t you ever hеard of darwin?
did you think we were going to run and hide?
haven’t you ever heard of darwin?
don’t roll down your car windows
it’s a jungle outside”

[verse 2]
there’s white tigers in las vegas
who deign to show their t–th
sip tea from china to polite applause
and they’re weighing up the gamblers
they’re either masters or they’re meat
provided they stay arm’s length from the claws
and it’s very nearly showtime, the magicians warm up backstage
and the sound effects so loud that no one hears
as one tiger turns to the other and says: “you wanna see some magic?
tonight it’s the magicians disappear!”
and they say:

[chorus]
“haven’t they ever heard of darwin?
did they think we’d vanish in the air?
haven’t they ever heard of darwin?
don’t roll down your car windows
it’s a jungle out there”
[verse 3]
further down the food chain
closer to the ground
scurry all the scavengers at home
and you can tidy up the kitchen
and wash all of the plates
but there’s always meat left somewhere on the bone
and all our tiny flatmates are waiting to inherit
the legacy we’ll leave behind one night
they feed their little habit and they’ll wait with perfect patience
till there’s no one left to turn on all the lights
and they’ll sing:

[chorus]
“hadn’t they ever heard of darwin?
now we don’t have to run and hide
hadn’t they ever heard of darwin?
hey, open up the windows
it’s a jungle inside
it’s a jungle inside
it’s a jungle inside”
