Survival of the Fittest
(Mel Tillis)
Infant turtles racing to the sea
Seagulls screeching, crying hungr'ly
Twisting, kicking, jerking in their craws
Oh, wonder why God made these kind of laws?
Preachers preaching loudly on the streets
While deaf and dumb men cannot hear or speak
Twisted legs can't chase a bouncing ball
Oh, wonder why God made these kind of laws?
--- Instrumental ---
Now the Carney's barking to the crowd let's go
While the Geek's a waitin' to do his sickenin' show
Freaks a standing round some fat some tall
Oh, wonder why God made these kind of laws?
Now Moses teaches us Thou shall not kill
Still cannons burst aloud on foreign hills
The strong will stand the weak will surely fall
Oh, wonder why God made these kind of laws?...
