lyrics

Everything Evolves

[A(D)] Maybe someday someone invents a car that runs on a tank of seawater
[E(A)] Flowing to the heart in a medusa set of capillaries
[Bm(Em)] So that emissions don't put our planet in a state of flux
[A(D)] I'd like to leave a livable planet for my granddaughter's granddaughter
[E(A)] Instead of thawed out polar ice caps putting Florida underwater from rising seas
[Bm(Em)] While the fossil fuel mega billionaires are making big bucks

Chorus
[B4(E4)] I don't want to seem passive
[Bm(Em)] Its just that protests are not my thing
[B4(E4)] Writing letters to politicians
[Bm(Em)] End up with the same old things
[D(G)] Instead I got solar panels and drive electric
[Cmaj7(Fmaj7)] Those are things that I can do today
[Bm(Em)] I can't change the worlds profit motivated metric
[D(G)] But I can choose my own way
[Cmaj7(Fmaj7)] To save a little bit of the planet

[A(D)] I've read that everything evolves or goes extinct and is gone
[E(A)] Through ice ages and tropical phases
[Bm(Em)] The graph looks like a heartbeat for the planet
[A(D)] Goodbye dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, and mastadons
[E(A)] One time ruler of their days
[Bm(Em)] Gotta wonder if man is next

Repeat chorus

I hear mother earth

[A(D)] I hear ya that internal combustion engines
[E(A)] are so much more efficient
[Bm(Em)] And fuel cells go the farthest
[A(D)] Well electric motors and batteries
[E(A)] have advanced and are cheaper too
[Bm(Em)] Nobody really knows what is next

Bridge
[E4(A4)] I hear mother nature say
I'll be back for more in 30 minutes or so
I hear mother earth say
I'll be back for more in 30 minutes or so
But I'm not sure if I'm a part of her plan
Or if geologic time for 30 minutes is more like 300,000 years or more
I only have today and there's so much I don't understand
About mother earth

Repeat chorus

Outro
Meanwhile
Everything evolves
Everything evolves
(Repeat and fade)
