Evolve

i walk in stride with people
 much taller than me
 and partly it's the boots but
 mostly it's my chi
 and i'm becoming transfixed
 with nature and my part in it
 which i believe just signifies
 i'm finally waking up
 and there's this moth outside my kitchen door
 she's bonkers for that bare bulb
 flying round in circles
 bashing in her exoskull
 and out in the woods she navigates fine by the moon
 but get her around a light bulb and she's doomed
 she is trying to evolve
 she's just trying to evolve
 now let's get talking reefer madness
 like some arrogant government can't
 by any stretch of the imagination
 outlaw a plant!
 yes, their supposed authority over nature
 is a dream
 c'mon people
 we've got to come clean
 cuz they are locking our sons
 and our daughters in cages
 they are taking by the thousands
 our lives from under us
 it's a crash crash course in religious fundamentals
 now let's all go to war
 get some bang for our buck
 yes i am trying to evolve
 i'm trying to evolve
 i am trying to evolve
 i'm trying to evolve
 gunnin for high score in the land of dreams
 morbid bluish-white consumers ogling luminous screens
 on the trail of forgetting
 cruising without a care
 the jet set won't abide by that pesky jet lag
 and our lives boil down to an hour or two
 when someone pulls a camera out of a bag
 and i am trying to evolve
 trying to evolve
 i'm trying to evolve
 trying to evolve
 so i walk like i'm on a mission
 cuz that's the way i groove
 i got more and more to do
 i got less and less to prove
 it took me too long to realize
 that i don't take good pictures
 cuz i have the kind of beauty
 that moves
 i am trying to evolve
 i'm trying to evolve
 i am trying to evolve
 i'm trying to evolve...
