And This Is What We Do With It

Ancient man, stone tool, fire, axe, cooking gruel
Shelter, spears, glue, clothing, doggy bone used for sewing
Flutes, ropes, china pots found in China, 'course, lots
Start to sing, farming, sheep, pigs, cattle rearing

Let's make a home, all about surviving
Man develops basic things to keep himself from dying
Creative and inventive, his talent has no limit
Take a thing of beauty and this is what we do with it

Big city, ovens, roast, wheels, silk, sailing boats
Writing, alphabet - Sesame Street? Not yet
Papyrus, money, swords, glass from the Lebanon
False teeth - put them in the glass from the Lebanon

Let's make music, already got gong
Chimes, drums, xylophones, harp, lyre, great song
Melody and rhythm work together so exquisite
Delighting in the sound of music, this is what we do with it

Cast iron made now, next catapult - ow
Glass blowing, mirror, ace but only used to stare at face
Crossbow, fishing reel, toilet roll, paddle wheel
Gunpowder, fireworks, someone call an ambulance

Let's make a phrase, everybody praise
Printing press, parchment, Shakespeare's entertainment
Music be the food of love, brevity the soul of wit
Beautiful language and this is what we do with it

Telescope, thermometer, clock, train, barometer
Photo, fridge, car as well, phone rings for Graham Bell
Up high, air balloon, there's more, folks, the cartoon
Big steam powered machines, smallpox cured by vaccines

Let's make stuff, can't get enough
Telegraph cuts in half time it takes to call your mates
Air flight, exciting innovation of merit
A window on the whole world and this is what we do with it

Concrete, ugly buildings, blow 'em up, dynamite
Celluloid, Edison, let there be light
TV, PC, Hi-Fi, Internet
Email, Snapchat, Wi-Fi, Pinterest

Still not done, lots more to come
First thing we make with 3D printer - a gun
Entire universe knowledge gathered in a tablet
A single click away from us
And this is what we do
This is what we do
This is what we do with it
