3,000,000 Years

Lucy got off her hands, she stood on her feet
She went an found a cute caveman, said come over to me
And multiply here with me under the stars
This whole damn planet, boy, it’s gonna be ours

3,000,000 years, 3,000,000 years

Her grandson left the woods, her arms covered in cuts
He said who needs berries, and who needs nuts
We’ll take these seeds, we’ll throw ‘em down in a row
We’ll sit back, and we’ll watch ‘em grow

There’s never been another moment like this
There’s never been another moment like this
So swing low and come on in for the kiss
‘Cause there’s never ever been another moment,
a moment like this

We made it through an ice age
and we made it through drought
We built civilizations, and we wiped ‘em out
We died in plagues and we died at war
But one thing we always knew we wanted
was more more more

One fine day we stuck a straw in the ground
Pumped out the stored sunshine,
went and drove all around
We’re gonna use it all up in under 200 years
And now we’re listening to dying wheels
and to frozen gears

There’s never been another moment like this
There’s never been another moment like this
So swing low and come on in for the kiss
‘Cause there’s never ever been another moment,
a moment like this

3,000,000 years, 3,000,000 years

Come take my hand for a while
Play this right we might both end with a smile
8,000,000,000 people just like us
8,000,000,000 people on a ball of dust

There’s never been another moment like this
There’s never been another moment like this
So put down your phone and come up for a kiss
‘Cause there’ll never ever be another moment,
a moment like this

3,000,000 years, 3,000,000 years
3,000,000 years, 3,000,000 years

Lucy’s children caught in space
Infinitely growing in a finite place
See it written bright across a darkening sky
Adapt or die, adapt or die

There’s never been another moment like this
There’s never been another moment like this
So swing low and come on in for the kiss
‘Cause there’ll never ever be another moment,
a moment like this

3,000,000 years, 3,000,000 years
3,000,000 years, 3,000,000 years
3,000,000 years, 3,000,000 years
