Shawn Mullins

Evolution Man

He's a walkin' contradiction when he sings his verse

He's got a caffeine fix addiction that could be worse

And he is loved by many, he's understood in time

But it's easier to love him than to try to read his mind

He's a mass of words expression and toil

And his temple's in the trees, in the water and the soil

He's a man of evolution, he's always changing like the seasons

He finds the right solution but gets lost in his own reason

And he's got a ways to go, I know and he's doing what he can

Sometimes this world's a lonely place for the evolution man

But she's always been there for him, she's his steady ground

And he'll never ever own her, it's the other way around

She's [Incomprehensible] the way out of here

She's the needle in his vein

And he knows she's the only thing that will ever stop the pain

He stands there naked in the light, giving all he's got

Most folks don't understand that we're no different

Than the rocks and stones to the evolution man

She said, "I got a funny feelin' that I'm headed somewhere new"

And there ain't no use in stealin' your sweet sweet dream from you

'Cause I know you'll find what you want if I set you free

And I'll still be here if you find what you want is me

'Cause it's a long and lonely road, I know you're doing what you can

But I never thought it would be so hard to love the evolution man

You're an evolution man
