Let's Raise a Glass
LET'S RAISE A GLASS
There's theories about how our life began
From sea as some have said
Some say we've all descended from apes
Look at the shape of our head
Some noggins have ape-like structures
More obvious in some than others
Guess we're probably related after all
Ancestors, sisters and brothers
Sometimes prompted to swing from a tree
Perhaps that's a pretty good sign
Constantly scratching our armpits as well
While hanging from yonder vine
Not trying to demean the human race
But d'ya think we've advanced at all
Still fighting wars, still killing and maiming
Basically the same crap overall
Well we don't really have an alternative
So let's all try to live in peace
And raise a glass to a much better future
When hostilities finally cease
