Momma told me somethin' that few people know
We were all a bunch of fishes a long time ago
So wave your fins in the air it's plain to see
You're a wayward fish, and it will set you free
Out of the ooze and born to cruise
For burgers in cars with nothin' to lose
Can't really say if it was part of a plan but
It took millions of years to go from fish to man
Did we lose our way when we left the pool?
Sometimes I think so when we act like fools
YOUR MOMMA WAS A LOBEFINNED FISH
MY MOMMA WAS LOBEFINNED FISH
Every single girl and every little boy
Was born from the clan of wayward Dipnoi
Don't let the preacher man spoil all the fun
Took a lot more than six days to get this job done
Amphibians and reptiles, birds, mammals and man
All belong to the FISH TRIBE, doncha' understand?
We Are Fish
YOUR MOMMA WAS A LOBEFINNED FISH
MY MOMMA WAS LOBEFINNED FISH
It's all there, locked in the stone
The truth is told in fossilized bone
Fish had fingers, Fish had arms
Crawling onto land like a charm
Changing the world, the rocks revealing
On and on in the chain of being
YOUR MOMMA WAS A LOBEFINNED FISH
MY MOMMA WAS LOBEFINNED FISH
Changing the world, the rocks revealing
On and on in the chain of being
Changing the world, the rocks revealing
On and on in the chain of being
Changing the world, the rocks revealing
On and on in the chain of being
Changing the world, the rocks revealing
On and on in the chain of being
