Communication Breakdown
[Reading note: have in mind Ella Fitzgerald singing Cole Porter's "Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)"]

The birds have it.
The bees have it.
Even echolocating Mormoopidaes have it.
Let's use it, that FOXP2.

Words wouldn't make sense without it.
Even after half of what's said you'd doubt it.
Let's use it, that FOXP2.

It doesn't take a random mutation in it.
For a breakdown in communication, innit?
Let's use it, that FOXP2.

Whole nations go to war from it.
Fly over Dresden in their planes to bomb it.
Let's use it, that FOXP2.

Avoid a conflict by tactfully defusing it.
Take a chance to speak your peace using it.
Let's not abuse it, that FOXP2.
