lirik lagu vitruvian man – talis kimberley

poor old leonardo took his final phd
top marks; that’s all there is to know
you may think there are sciences mankind has yet to see
you were born too soon; that’s how it goes
you’ve got your greek and latin, you’ve got your golden mean
you’re a polymath and g*nius, and it shows;
you’ve got your mona lisa and your crazy flying ships
so leave it be; that’s all there is to know

but take heart, leonardo, i assure you this won’t last
you can be our poster boy when we’re living in the past
just about now we’ve got everything our little hearts desire
roll on the new dark ages, leo – oh, and:
how do you make fire?
after leonardo things got rather out of hand
science just got bigger every year
disciplines unheard of back in his renaissance days
and a learning curve that went from slope to sheer
theories and paradigms, hypotheses galore
more than any brain could hold, it’s clear
we’ve mapped the human genome and we’ve got as far as mars
pushing on through every last frontier

but take heart, leonardo, i assure you this won’t last
you can be our poster boy when we’re living in the past
pretty darn soon by my reckoning we’ll be ignorant again
leo, we could split the atom – oh, yeah
we were clever, then

well, mankind’s had a good run, and we’ve burned so very bright
top marks to fragile us; we’ve had our turn
shame we’ve not the sense to look beyond the next few years
but you see, there’s just so very much to learn –
smash the glass, shoot the messenger who dares tell it like it is
his every last good advice we’ll spurn
behold! the god petroleum demands his sacrifice:
burn everything there is to burn

but take heart, leonardo, i assure you this won’t last
you can be our poster boy when we’re living in the past
way back when, you knew everything, everything there was to know
i don’t think we’ll forget the wheel, but – tell me –
what i need to know, leonardo, i assure you this won’t last
you can be our poster boy, when we’re living back in the past
just about now we’ve got everything our little hearts desire
never mind the flying ships, hey, leo – how do you make fire?
so tell me – how do you make fire?
oh, leonardo. how do you make fire?
[spoken] pass me that stick, please –
this used to be so easy! –
[sung] tell me, how do you make fire?
