lyrics

Neanderthal man fell into a depression
He thought that evolution was a curse not a blessing
If man’s the maker’s image should we ever be stressing?
If we hold on to the end, it’s a given we’ll get in

They tried to stay behind, so somebody had to teach ‘em a lesson
Even if you dress ‘em up, apes can’t get into heaven

So they’re dressing up their kids in the holiest vestments
Their form is less than fitting but they’re dressed to impress him
They’re just cool cats, kicked back, couldn’t care if Christ cracks
Who needs heaven anyway? Earthly pleasure’s here to stay

No matter how cool you look leaning on the 7 11
The glass is half full but even then they’re gonna teach you a lesson

They thought they’d forge a fossil record, figured he might forget
And by the time he’d placed their faces he’d be full of regrets
But every time they reach the gate they get another rejection
With a face like that what mother’d make an exception?

You may think you’re pretty cool, but somebody’s gonna teach you a lesson
Any way you dress ‘em up, apes can’t get into heaven
Even if you dress ‘em up, apes can’t get into heaven
