Lyrics
Survival Of The Fittest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Infant turtles racing to the sea seagulls screeching crying hungr'ly
Twisting kicking jerking in their craws oh wonder why God made these kind of laws
Preachers preaching loudly on the streets
While deaf and dumb men cannot hear or speak
Twisted legs can't chase a bouncing ball
Oh wonder why God made these kind of laws
[ ac.guitar ]
Now the Carney's barking to the crowd let's go
While the Geek's a waitin' to do his sickenin' show
Freaks a standing round some fat some tall
Oh wonder why God made these kind of laws
Now Moses teaches us Thou shall not kill still cannons burst aloud on foreign hills
The strong will stand the weak will surely fall
Oh wonder why God made these kind of laws
