Have we evolved at all as humans
Have we evolved at all as men
Have we evolved at all as humans
Or do we have to start again

Why do we have the same old problems
Why don't the answers seem to work

Have we evolved, have we evolved
Have we evolved like this
We won't be told, we won't be told
We shake our heads, our fists
Maybe our chance is gone

Why can't we find another refuge
Somewhere brand new to place our trust
Or is the brave new world too precious
To leave our robots out to rust

Would we be happier bionic
If we gave up our flesh and blood

Have we evolved, have we evolved
Have we evolved like this
We won't be told, we won't be told
We shake our heads, our fists
Maybe our chance is gone

Have we run out of new ideas
Are all the barrels really scraped
Are we the sum of all our fears
Emotions we can't separate

What if we wiped the slate completely
Is there a chance we'd start again

Have we evolved, have we evolved
Have we evolved like this
We won't be told, we won't be told
We shake our heads, our fists
Maybe our chance is gone
