Who is he, this simple man, and absentee
When time began
Who from beginnings very small
Grew to rule this spinning ball
That's what I'd like to know

He came in from the sea one day
Like the land so that he stayed
On growing legs began to walk
But when did man begin to talk
That's what I'd like to know

Racing ride, suicide
Jesus died, but now the fans will love you
Racing ride, suicide
Whoever's God, there is always one above you
That's what I'd like to know

A million years
Then comes the dawn
When man took on his present form
And all those years what were they for
If we're to risk them all in war
That's what I'd like to know
