At the dawn of man, he heard a cry
And he looked around himself
And he wondered why
And at the dawn of man, he took a knife
And he cut a spyhole through
The chaos sky
And ever since then he does what he pleases
Yeah, just what he pleases
And at the dawn of man
He took it all out of my mighty hands, oh, oh
I think of ways of helping him somehow
I sit and watch them gun each other down, oh, oh
I think that they must know it all by now
At the dawn of man, he took control
And found dark mystery
Inside his soul
And at the dawn of man, he saw the light
And he stuck two fingers up
Into the night
And ever since then he does what he pleases
Yeah, just what he pleases
And at the dawn of man
He took it all out of my mighty hands, oh, oh
I think of ways of helping him somehow
I sit and watch them gun each other down, oh, oh
I think that they must know it all by now
Well, at the dawn of man, he cut the cord
Up to perfection
'Cause he was bored
And at the dawn of man, he took a bite
Out of the luscious fruit
Just out of spite
And ever since then he does what he pleases
Yeah, just what he pleases
And at the dawn of man
He took it all out of my mighty hands, oh, oh
I think of ways of helping him somehow
I sit and watch them gun each other down, oh, oh
I think that they must know it all by now
