i am a modern caveman

sittin' here by the fire

these hands of mine been busy

they never seem to tire

i am a fearless hunter

look at all these bones

sometimes i sit and wonder

who i am and what I'm for

i'm a caveman

i painted lots of pictures

and made up my own songs

i shivered through the winters

the pain has made me strong

I'm looking for a woman

to help me count these stars

then maybe she could show me

who i am and what i'm for

i'm a caveman

i named the constellations

and taught myself to swim

created my creator

and made me look like him

i pondered my condition

till my head began to ache

right now I'm going fishin'

it's good to be at the top of the food chain

i'm a caveman
