PJ Harvey - Homo Sappy Blues (Demo) Lyrics

PJ Harvey Lyrics

"Homo Sappy Blues (Demo)"

A jaw, a leg bone, a reconstructed skull
No continents or oceans
They died so young

What God sent you
Sent you from your cave
I need your wisdom
Homo Sapiens

Your path of migration
Is lodged upon a map
Looking like a tattoo
On a kid's forehead

What God sent you
Sent you from your cave
I need your wisdom
If only for a day

What God sent you
What God sent you

They die young around here
With a hunger in their guts
And a taste for vodka
Their friends faces on their shirts

Last year they killed one
Just for his shoes
Tell me what God sent you
I got the Homo Sappy Blues

What God sent you
What God sent you
