bjornpdx Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I posted this song about 5 years ago, maybe more. Always wanted to make a video from it and here it is. Images are from pixabay, iStock and from my photos and also from a clip art library I've had forever. The clip art images aren't all that great. Thanks for watching/commenting. -Bjorn My ancestors did it all themselves They wandered where impulse led They’d navigate by the sun and stars The cold hard ground their bed They didn’t mind the weather too much They all were a hardy bunch Whenever they got hungry They’d have a mammoth for lunch I've got digital and I go online They had their spears and arrows Feeling pretty smug about my high tech world But I've no idea how any of it works I don’t know where North is Don’t know how to start a fire I take to my bed if the power goes out ‘Cause the situation’s too dire I hunt and gather at the Safeway store My shelter is air conditioned My clothes are more for looks than warmth I love my television Bug spray, sun screen, Eddie Bauer boots, I can now venture out of my car But only if it’s sunny out there And the scenery isn’t too far. My ancestors didn’t live too long, Maybe thirty years tops At least they had their health you know ‘Til squashed by a mastodon stomp Sure I’ll live to be ninety five I’ll have fragile bones and I’ll walk real slow Moving pretty fast is my savings account It’s all going to the nursing home. Fight or flight never happens to me Except with that big dog down the street Survival instincts only come out Fighting all the traffic during rush hour If I get stranded on a desert isle And my cell phone, tablet and laptop die Then it would likely occur to me So how do you make electricity? Everything I have, everything I need Was made by someone smarter than me My ancestors did it all themselves I guess they too were smarter than me My ancestors they had it pretty rough But they made a new generation Life gets better moving up the family tree It's been a long road to you and me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
