This is a song that is very real about the human condition; no Pollyanna here, and it has roots in intense blues. Maynard James performed all instruments and vocals and wrote about half of the lyrics, and Clay Wilson wrote the other half. Folks, a song, unlike anything you've heard before. ENJOY! Thanks in advance for any listens and reviews!~~~Clay Brian Wilson

DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD
Lyric & Music/Bob Seger, Maynard James & Clay Wilson

Verse: I wonder why the human race seems so crazy and inhumane?
Did we devolve from some disgraced place
Or did we come from some mutated strain
Conceived from some ill-humored brain
Conceived by God
Or some myopic vain?
What makes you crazy at night
What makes you crazy at night?
What makes your head turn away
What makes your head turn away?
What makes you curl up at night
What makes you curl up at night?

Chorus: It's all DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD I heard you say
All this evolution
Sold as logical solution
DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD
A manufactured mass confusion
DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD
By those who run this institution
DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD
Somewhere in Darwin's Head
DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD
Somewhere in Darwin's Head
DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD.

Verse: I wonder why the human strain is crazy and inhumane?
I don't lose sight that they've ingrained disdain
(DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD)
Toward the vain of human pain
(DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD)
I wonder why the human stain
(DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD)
(DOWN IN DARWIN'S HEAD)
Seems so crazy and inhumane?
I don’t lose sight of feeling vain (all solution)
The bane of human pain
All this evolution
I don’t forget that they’ve been mad with hate
A natural bent from sun to rain.
I don’t lose sight of this evolution.
They have faced disgrace (sold as logical solution)
Reduced the bane (a manufactured mass confusion)
Of human pain (by those who run this institution)
A natural man-made thing.

(Break Pause)

Chorus: Tell me what do you think
DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD
When there ain’t no missing link
DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD
DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD?
It’s so damn dark in his head
DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD
Somewhere in Darwin’s Head
DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD
It’s all DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD
DOWN IN DARWIN’S HEAD.

Coda: They locked me up IN DARWIN’S HEAD!

Thank you very, very much, Mike for your enthusiasm and kind words, Brother! I wish I had sung this song. It's Maynard James all the way with his bold and very passionate singing, my good friend. And the lyrics I think Maynard wrote about 2/3s of them and me 1/3 after more thought about it, but regardless it Maynard at his very best in my view, man! Great vocals and instrumentation by Maynard James. Check him out over at SoundCloud. He is under "Maynard James' Flying Machine" there. Thank you again, Mike and to TrishM's beautiful review that is right on! Thank you, too TrishM! God bless you all! Cheers, Clay Brian Wilson
