Better Than Who

Chorus:
Better than who? (better than who)
The scores aren't in. (the scores aren't in)
Let the gods of evolution say who'll win
Better at what? (better at what)
In what way? (in what way)
Let the gods of evolution have their say
I'm better than you at shooting
You're better than me with a knife
Who's to say which tool works better when the punks come for your life?
You're better than me at karate
I'm better than you with a stick
Do you really want to walk through the slums tonight, let the old gods take their pick?
I'm better at breathing pollution
You're better at avoiding colds
Which of us will last the longer in the worst the future holds?
You're better at surviving bug bites
I'm better at eating junk
If civilization sinks tomorrow, which of us would be sunk?
I'm better at training horses
You're better at fixing cars
Which will be in more demand at the next turn of the stars?
You're better at hunting rabbits
I'm better at making fire
Which of those skills can better fulfill what tomorrow might require?
I'm better at growing gardens
You're better at counting cash
Which will serve us best tomorrow, the money or the stash?
You're better at working computers
I'm better at making a song
Which will put more food on the table if the world goes right or wrong?
(musical interlude)
You're better at playing dominance
I'm better at making friends
What works better, whether or not civilization ends?
Nobody knows the future
Or what skill betters the odds
So it's best to say we're all born equal and leave the rest to the gods
Let the gods of evolution have their say
