Civilization takes Two

from Ideology by Bob Gaulke

/

lyrics

be lightning
I’ll be slime
be single-celled organisms
I’ll be time

be a reptile
I’ll be the worm
I’ll be feathers
if you be a bird

be the monkey
I’ll be banana
be a land bridge
I’m Siberia

be the sphinx
I’ll be the nose
Julius Cesar,
what’s there to lose

civilization takes two, my darling
civilization takes two
you might find the thought alarming
but there’s nothing we can do

be Guttenberg
I’ll be depressed
be Martin Luther
while I’ll get undressed

be Columbus
I’ll be Taino
be Montezuma
or Cortes

fighting you in bed
I’ll let you win
serve me instead
with a slice of onion

civilization takes two
your highness
civilization takes two
pull back the covers
what we find is
civilization takes two

fossil record
missing link
history abhors
predictability

play the declaration
I’ll be redcoats
be Abraham Lincoln
not Jim Crow

Be Susan Anthony
I’ll be a corset
be the Wright Brothers
I’m a UFO

civilization takes two, princess
civilization takes two
just be yourself, your highness
off with my head with you
