Do The Evolution
Pearl Jam · Yield
I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace with my lust
I can kill 'cause in god I trust, yeah
it's evolution, baby
I'm a beast, I'm a man
I buy stocks on the day of the crash, yeah
on the loose, i'm a truck
all the rolling hills I'll flatten them out, yeah
it's herd behavior, uh huh
it's evolution, baby
Admire me, admire my home
admire my son, he's my clone
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
this land is mine, this land is free
i'll do what i want yet irresponsibly
it's evolution, baby
Im a thief, i'm a liar
there's my church
I sing in the choir:
hallelujah, hallelujah
Admire me, admire my home
admire my song, admire my clothes
Consider, appetite for a nightly feast
those ignorant indians got nothing on me
nothing, why?
because, it's evolution, baby!
I am ahead, i am advanced
i am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
i crawled the Earth, but now i'm higher
twenty-ten, watch it go to fire
it's evolution, baby
it's evolution baby
do the evolution
come on
come on, come on

Emerging during a period of experimentation, the song showcases the group's willingness to embrace a more aggressive, rhythmic drive compared to the melodic softness of their earlier work. The recording features a driving bassline and a percussive guitar attack that propels the track forward, reflecting the band's evolution in songwriting and production. As part of the Yield era, the song captures the energy of a group navigating new creative territories while maintaining their signature grunge intensity. It remains a staple in their live performances, demonstrating the enduring power of their catalog and the dynamic range of their musical output during the late nineties.
