If we all went back
To where we came from,
It’s safe for us to assume
That we’d be where we started
Inside our mother’s womb
Waiting for our moment of arrival
In our birthday suit costumes
As a testament to survival one might presumes

If we all went back
To where we came from,
Our progress would be reversed
By our massive migration
To where we came from first
Giving truth to that old adage
By turning bad to worst
What a fruitless pursuit for us to become immersed

If we all went back
To where we came from,
Wouldn’t it be interesting
To witness the return
Of women and men
Back to a place where we all begin
Inside of the abyss
But that’s not something that we can

If we all went back
To where we came from,
There’d be no progress
And we all could be accused
Of turning more Into so much less
And that should be quite difficult
For us to digest
‘Cuz it would be an exercise purely in excess
