The Amplifetes – You/Me/Evolution Lyrics:
(Verse)
Porter backs and basic facts, pick up on our nation act
In this town, let’s make a pact, get the species back on track.
Creating shadow on the wall, listen up when nature calls.

(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t you get the picture,
What you’re watching, what you’re watching, what you watch?

(Chorus)
Evolution, evolution, Evolution, evolution,
Evolution, evolution, Evolution, evolution.
Some people never stop, they keep on.
The battle the first and the last
And the rest of it all, keep on.

(Verse)
We got purpose, you and me, can’t escape biology,
Rather soon or rather now, shouldn’t let quasion down.

(Bridge)
Let’s make a mutation, baby, don’t forget the time
Don’t you get the picture,
What you’re watching, what you’re watching, what you watch?

(Chorus)
Evolution, evolution, Evolution, evolution,
Evolution, evolution, Evolution, evolution.
Some people never stop, they keep on.
The battle the first and the last
And the rest of it all, keep on.

You and me
Me and you
We can do this right.

(Chorus)
Evolution, evolution, Evolution, evolution,
Evolution, evolution, Evolution, evolution.
Some people never stop, they keep on.
The battle the first and the last
And the rest of it all, keep on.
