The Sons Of Robert Mitchum - DarwinÂ’s Nightmare Lyrics
Darwin’s nightmare came to town, and he’s gonna takeCare of us allGave us the word on how it is, and introduced us to theFallAs he leered with myopic, blood soaked eyes and told usWe were freeHe said “this world has a plan, now do what I say orI’ll nail you to the Butcher’s tree”Another Nightmare makes it's way through historyHe said “Once upon a time I was Romulus, but today I'mGonna be like CainI'm gonna crash right through your peace and love, justTo see what I can gain”And though my momma was tough, she had no choice, sheWas just 16When they pillaged the homestead and raped them all,Just to keep them keenAnother Nightmare makes it's way down from your familyTreeHe dropped a predator that perched in the land lockedLake, ‘cause he thought it might look goodIt killed most of the others with no regard, like it'sProgram said it shouldSaid “ I've seen off so many Alpha males, you’re gonnaWant to run for coverOr I’ll do you in, this rarefied air, just like I didYour brother”Another Nightmare makes it's way down from your familyTreeVirgins pleaded for humanity, not knowing what he couldShow themAs they hid their shame with sullied hands, he drankFrom a JeroboamBut when he bathed his fingers in the water clear, fromThe part that was muddyThe predator fish, it caught him by the throat andDidn’t stop ‘till the pool was bloodyAnother Nightmare makes it's way down from your familyTreeThe truly hungry will eat most things; some even eatThe one that they suckled onSome don’t need fed but will rip that flesh and tasteIt just for funAnd it’s hard to know whose fault it is, is it God orMan or ScienceBut if you feel no guilt for what you've done, you mayBe hanging on your own relianceAnother Nightmare makes it's way down from your familyTreeAnother Nightmare makes it's way through history
