Primitive Song Writing

Jim + Jeremy + couch + September 11th = The Neanderthal Song

  1. ugly brutish and short, live me and my wife
    been nasty and bow-legged, most all of my life
    prodding deer off cliffs 'cause i'm a carnivore
    living in caves and stealing women
    hardly a bore, who could ask for more?
    than living here as a neanderthal

    i am a neanderthal
    bordering close to animal
    suspiciously alike any other mammal
    but cultivating fire keeps me higher
    primative talking, upright walking
    me and my clan hardly struggling at all
    'cause i am a neanderthal
    battling through it all

    my huge forehead, it harbors doubt
    using my bare hands to snatch up trout
    there's gotta be a better way, less of a pain
    my nose has evolved, so why not by brain
    so little to lose, so much to gain
    living here as a neanderthal

    (chorus)

    to my homeland, south-western france
    came advanced cro-magnons with more of a chance
    homosapiens in the purest of form
    with the spears, beads, intelligence to perform
    so thirty thousand years came in two blinks
    the dictionary lists me now with the extincts
    but when my friends and i go out for drinks
    we'll always sing

    (chorus)
