The Neanderthal Mistake

V6-MINI

[Verse 1] He could knap the flint, he could skin the deer He could track the wind, he could heal the fear Every single skill, one life to hold Strong enough to carry everything alone [Chorus] (Everything! Everything!) Nobody can do everything (Everything! Everything!) That was the Neanderthal mistake (Nobody can do everything) Learning takes a lifetime and a lifetime is too short to take [Verse 2] The others split the labor up like a hand of cards You learn the seed, I'll learn the guard Teach the child the little that you know A thousand small specialists, a thousand small tomorrows [Bridge] [spoken, low] It sounds cold, doesn't it. Division. But look at what it is. It's trust. I won't learn to do what you do, because I believe you'll be there. [Final Chorus] (Trust! Trust!) Nobody can do everything (Trust! Trust!) That was the Neanderthal mistake He never needed anyone and that is why there's no one to remember him
