[Verse 1] No one really knows why it works but it works every time - In the same way Til Jane said something about it and the Ansibles grew silent She says By Sheer Will we become one and my brother is a shoe So let's put to test this theory of phy' lowts I'm wishing you here so hard it Hurts [Chorus] Jane may destroy what she is to redeem us And we might condemn a species just to save our genes But when it's them or us nature demands greed And when it's you or me just give me the knife Just give me the knife and seed [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] I Never thought we'd be the ones to be here Three thous-and years is such a long time to live I guess we grow like trees too in the way we lay our threads I know my time is close so I step outside a while And when I come back in who knows who'll open the doors... [Bridge] Let your old men make decisions let your young men fight the wars. But when life and death's before you the choice is rarely yours! [Chorus] Jane may destroy what she is to redeem us And we might condemn a species just to save our genes But when it's them or us nature demands greed And when it's you or me just give me the knife Just give me the knife and seed [Outro]
