Seven million years of progress handed down on silver wings 七百万年的发展流传下来的银翅

Of gossamer and protein still we haven't learned a thing 游丝和蛋白质我们还没有学会的事

Are we caught up in our anger, locked up in our rage 我们是否陷入了我们的愤怒，锁在我们的愤怒

In the opera of selection on this our earthly stage 在选择对我们这个俗世阶段歌剧

   

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave 和查理的纺纱笑，笑在他的坟墓

Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave 笑的预言，预言他给

Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind 我们可以传播我们的翅膀像天使，才能打出来的碾

Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time 难道我们注定是达尔文的孩子这个时候

   

The ribbons of our cigarettes vanish in the air 我们的香烟彩带消失在空气中

In the glow of our great teacher we sit and blankly stare 在我们伟大的导师的光辉，我们坐下来，呆呆的凝视

And the sky could open up and what would we have to say 和天空可以敞开心扉，你会我们不得不说

Something cute about burning out, better than fading away 一些可爱的约燃烧掉，好于渐行渐远

   

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave 和查理的纺纱笑，笑在他的坟墓

Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave 笑的预言，预言他给

Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind 我们可以传播我们的翅膀像天使，才能打出来的碾

Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time 难道我们注定是达尔文的孩子这个时候

   

On the wings of invention now we hurdle toward our fate 在本发明的翅膀，现在我们的障碍对我们的命运

As sure as the sunset burns 当然，由于燃烧的晚霞

Collective resignation, evolutionary fate 集体辞职，进化的命运

When will we ever learn 当我们将不断学习

   

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave 和查理的纺纱笑，笑在他的坟墓

Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave 笑的预言，预言他给

Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind 我们可以传播我们的翅膀像天使，才能打出来的碾

Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time 难道我们注定是达尔文的孩子这个时候
