[Baba Brinkman - Don't Sleep With Mean People lyrics]
Sexual selection is twisted it’s not balanced
It gives us the best of
Our gifts and odd talents
Anything that’s useless for
Survival like music
Anything attractive, that charms and seduces
Like language usage, my vocab is so fab
I spin a web with it
And the centre is my gonads
It’s nothing but a mating dance
I can admit it
But, I can’t escape it, no chance
I’m locked in it like a tree, deep rooted
So people see through it
I’m a freak by nature thanks to evolution
But so are you
The relevant dramas that you’re goin’ through
Sexual selection selected them too
So if you feel the hormone rush, testify!
Try to see things objectively
But don’t objectify
It’s the eyes, they can’t take the pressure
They try to stare at your breasts
But I can make an effort
The hours pass, my power’s sapped
I can’t choose an oblong
Physique over an hourglass
So it might seem like "mean" includes me
You can’t choose what to want
But you can choose what to eat
Don’t sleep with mean people
– that’s the anthem please, think about your
Granddaughters and grandsons
Don’t sleep with mean people
– pretty or handsome
Mean people hold the gene pool for ransom
Don’t sleep with mean people
– that’s the anthem
Please, don’t reward your kids
For throwin’ tantrums
Don’t sleep with mean people
– pretty or handsome
If you wanna take the pledge
Get your hands up
So what if we really did it
This silly business?
I mean use sex appeal to
Make a real difference
Like a field mission, to seek and enjoy
It’s gotta be the most powerful
Tool we can employ
We don’t need Freud Darwin has the answers
Sexual selection can enhance us
Let’s make a competition out of altruism
If someone gives enough to charity
You’d better frolic with them
Generosity should be rewarded
And celibacy enforced on those who try
To keep and hoard it
Of course I’m speaking mostly to women
‘Cause when it comes to reproduction
You control the system
Men have a supporting role to play
But where you lead
Best believe we’ll follow with no complaint
It’s time for a gender based intifada
Aristophanes got it right with Lysistrata
More than two millennia ago
Women in the know
Realized that it’s a lie that
‘men are in control’
So ladies, please, every time you fornicate
Just keep in mind
The future is yours to shape
Don’t sleep with mean people
– that’s the anthem please, think about your
Granddaughters and grandsons
Don’t sleep with mean people
– pretty or handsome
Mean people hold the gene pool for ransom
Don’t sleep with mean people
– that’s the anthem
Please, don’t reward your kids
For thrown’ tantrums
Don’t sleep with mean people
– pretty or handsome
If you wanna take the pledge
Get your hands up
It gives us the best of
