[Verse 1]
I know we came here to get our good times on
Hold the whole world in our hand and greet the dawn with open arms
So make a contribution if you have been amused
But before we depart, my brothers and sisters, I have some heavy news
Oh, how it breaks my heart, this photograph
Several in the ministry practice a fuzzy math
And some of us wear the robes of the righteous are a little more next of kin
To the Sleestak, the wicked one who makes a meal of our sins
[Chorus]
Ain’t no telling how much longer
But we will never, we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling how much longer
But we will never, we will never be moved
[Verse 2]
Woe be the architect of our city, cruel leveler, the hillock strangler
Bold pusher of the cold bone index through the knotted bowels of the old alleyways
Read the future a false haruspex, recall how he coaxed us out of the green plains
All of us, dumb-eyed from the sheer number, so long ago, it does not matter
Woe be the architect in his slumber, for the Watcher never sleeps
And on that day, there will be rejoicing and dancing in the streets
[Chorus]
Ain’t no telling how much longer
But we will never, we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling how much longer
But we will never, we will never be moved
[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Get your evolution on
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Get your evolution on
Good Saint Charles Darwin wrote that gospel down
So keep your eyes up to the sky and ears down to the ground
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Get your evolution on
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Get your evolution on

[Chorus]
Ain’t no telling (ain't no telling) how much longer (how much longer)
But we will never, we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling (ain't no telling) how much longer (how much longer)
But we will never, we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling (ain't no telling) how much longer (how much longer)
But we will never, we will never be moved
Ain’t no telling (ain't no telling) how much longer (how much longer)
But we will never, we will never be moved
