Lyrics

Spawn

[Verse 1: Vitro]

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes

As a death from old age becomes nearer

Why can't the livestock be free

When trading soldiers for steak

[Pre-Chorus: Vitro]

Learn to evolve with the new transition

To act upon a hypocritical vision

Discard the old and in with the new

Discard the old and in with the fashion

[Chorus: Vitro]

Learn to evolve with the new transition

To act upon a hypocritical vision

Learn to evolve, learn to

Learn to evolve

[Verse 2: Vitro]

Who is the bad guy

Who is the bad guy

Who is the bad guy

Who is the bad guy

Who is the bad guy

Who is the bad guy

Who is the bad guy

Who

[Chorus: Vitro]

Learn to evolve with the new transition

To act upon a hypocritical vision

Learn to evolve, learn to

Learn to evolve

[Verse 3: Silverchair]

Bring on the ape farm

Demolish the monkeys

Drink up, drink up

Look down on junkies

A new hypocritical look and ambition

The time has come

To make the decision, you

Drink up, drink up, look down

I'll hold it back, I'll hold it back

[Refrain Chorus: Silverchair]

Discard the old, in with the fashion

[Refrain Verse 1: Silverchair]

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
