Charles Songtext
von System X

Charles, you know the reason why we mutate over time
Unfavourable traits become less common while favourable traits survive
Your evolutionary theory based on key facts and inference
"On The Origin Of Species" documents your compelling e-e-evidence

Those drops of life fell from the stars
And filled our oceans, that′s what we believe
And if we're only halfway through our evolution
What might we achieve?
Achieve?

Charles, you sailed for five years on The Beagle with Fitzroy
Cape de Verde, Rio, Buenos Ayres, Santa Fé
Then Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, The Falklands and Chile
Peru, Galapagos, New Zealand, Oz, Keeling and Tahiti

That voyage to such ecologically diverse lands
Spawned so many publications
For twenty years ideas coalesced and mapped out
For our fascination, our fascination


Those drops of life fell from the stars
And filled our oceans, that′s believed by sone
And if we're only halfway through our evolution
What might we become?
Become?

Intense debate attracted interest on its-a declaration
Environmentally suited heritable traits for future generations
The notion of natural selection, published 1859
"On The Origin Of Species" documents your compelling speculations

Charles, you know the reason why we mutate over time
Unfavourable traits go to the wall while favourable traits survive
Your revolutionary theories based on key facts and inference
"On The Origin Of Species" documents your compelling
Evidence Evidence Evidence

Just wanna be like
Just wanna be like
Just wanna be like Charles
