Some say that we're all dying from the moment we are born
Some say live in the moment, others treat philosophy with scorn
Some die early, going mental, some outlive their teeth, all problems dental
From a cockroach point of view, insects score a point or two
Teenagers are likely to survive those middle-aged and half alive
We hope all babies thrive, and live lives healthy and long
Run marathons and are strong, so nothing will go wrong
If you follow a religion it promises us all heaven
Where we'll live sixes and sevens
With ancient Egyptian men, and all the enemies
Exes and insects we hoped we'd never see again.

In the long run, they out-run us, though I think humans have more fun
If we evaluate evolution, which one of us has won?
