The Rise and Fall of Intelligent Design

If I could have just one wish

Maybe for an hour

I'd wanna be a woman

And feel that phantom power

Maybe I'd wanna stick around for a while

Until my heart got broke

Maybe then I could find out if I'm a half decent man

Or if I'm just a joke

If I could be the first woman president

I'd take on air pollution

I'd walk the streets of Baghdad at dawn

To find a real solution

Write down my soul for the people to read

I'd make my secrets known

I'd probably be assassinated first day in office

Or die somewhere alone

It's no excuse to be obtuse

It's no excuse to be deaf dumb and blind

When evolution is a thing of no use

It likes to call itself intelligent design

So here's the world in the palm of my hand

How come I'm feeling so tender

It's a mans world I've heard it since birth

I'm out of touch with my gender

I wanna feed the hungry I wanna heal the sick

I wanna stifle the causes of sufferin' and hate

I wanna know my enemy by the look in his eyes

I wanna stop all this madness before it's to late

I don't care of you think I've gone crazy

Messianic delusion's a back breaking grind

I've got a dog and a gold and a friend in the navy

Don't know nothing about intelligent design

It's no excuse to be brutal

It's no excuse to be vile

It's no excuse to wanna die for religion

Or hang an innocent child

It's no excuse to be a slick politician

When the whole of New Orleans is drowning in brine

I'm not mistaken it was Darwin's position

That the hole in the levee was caused by intelligent design
