Baba Brinkman - Worst Comes To Worst 2.0 lyrics

Worst comes to worst, my people come first
But my tribe lives on every country on earth
I’ll do anything to protect them from hurt
The human race is what I serve

Some people got good friend
I’ve got disparate friends
They live on different ends of earth
But just pretend we actually get to the end
Of the time of tribalism like Obama said
And dissolve the lines of difference
As man advances in civilization
And small tribes expand into larger bases
And communities
The truest reason tells each individual
That’s it’s not that difficult
To extend our instinctual
Sympathies to all members of one nation
Like, for instance
Notice how everybody loves Canadians
Overseas, even if they’re personally unknown
Well so do I! But not so
Much when I come home
When I meet them abroad
They’re just more fun to know
Or maybe when I’m away
I just let the love go either way
What’s to stop us extending these basic
Sympathies to the people of all
Nations and all races
I’m just takin’ Charles Darwin’s statements
And makin’
Them rhyme, he was a man ahead of his time
Extending his imagination and formidable mind
Into a future where all
Human sympathies combine
Worst comes to worst, my peoples comes first
But my tribe lives on every country on earth
I’ll do anything to protect them from hurt
The human race is what I serve

In the South Pacific Islands
There’s certain animals that don’t
Experience fear, like Galapagos iguanas
They never had predators
So their adaptive responses
Evolved to be as calm as
A pack of Dalai Llamas
So then, why do we have to live with violence
When this whole planet could be
Like a pacifistic island?
Do we need fear to escape invading aliens?
The only predators here are
Called Homo sapiens
And yeah, we can be dangerous
But we can also be
Motivated by affection and
Positive reciprocity
Stop the violence, right? We can all agree!
But violence comes from the fear
Of predators stalkin’ me
See, violence is never entirely senseless
Natural selection
That’s how you make sense of it
We just gotta identify what
Triggers a threat switch
And redesign society to disconnect it
And then instinct will take care
Of the rest of it it’s a simple idea
But when it’s widely comprehended
Then I predict a world of aligned interests
Where the people are as
Peaceful as Galapagos finches
Worst comes to worst, my peoples comes first
But my tribe lives on every country on earth
I’ll do anything to protect them from hurt
The human race is what I serve

Where there’s no pain there will be joy
And where there’s no fear there will be love
There will be joy there will be love
