So I read this article Mark posted in another thread and then Randy Newman and John Prine started singing this to me in my brain and so I knocked this off in short order...meant to be in the fanciful, humorous style of "Jesus: The Missing Years" by John Prine... https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-genes-of-left-and-right/Liberals Crawled Out of the Ocean Intro We're punching chads for who we like but wait, could be more to it studies show that it's our genes that make us wanna do it all that raw ancestral stuff in our genes and limbic brains scientific studies show that it's a hellbound train going back in time, back to the primordial slime....to when.. CH liberals crawled out of the ocean conservatives crawled out of the sea and they've been going at it they've been going at it they've been going at it since the dawn of history V1 liberals, out of the big blue ocean said let's abolish billy clubs and rocks then conservatives beat the crap out of them bringing on the very first peace talks V2 out of a stormy sea crawled the conservatives booby trapped their caves, drank lots of tea said stay off our sweet land or we will club you we really just want you to leave us be..cuz CH liberals crawled out of the ocean conservatives crawled out of the sea and they've been going at it they've been going at it they've been going at it since the dawn of history (Instrumental with donkey brays and elephant's trumpeting) V3 and though tens of thousands of years have gone by nothing's really changed, just scenery as I stand here ready to..punch a chad some ancient voice in the back of my head says "yes on 23" ..cuz CH liberals crawled out of the ocean conservatives crawled out of the sea and they've been going at it they've been going at it they've been going at it since the dawn of history

That's great, Mike. Slick but warm and feelgood, with a real lightness of touch. I can't wait to hear those donkeys and elephants.

Hi Again Mike, Back from the songwriting hinterlands to see whose up to what. This one is very good. I was wondering if you could change "Sea" to "Eden", we all know most conservatives are creationists and so many left wingers are evolutionists. I thought you were touching one that when I read the first line. Either way, I like it.
