Verse 1
G 
2.5 million years ago, a friend of mine
Made a tool from a stone
and defended his tribe
Ab 
It's technology,
G 
sorry for the technical term
It's a wheel,
then a fire and the rest is a blur
Ab 
Throw a theorized plot in the pot
G 
with applied science
Let it sit,
I bet it streamlines your environs
What's a resource local to the grotto?
Bb 
The method isn't free until the
A 
Ab 
mechanism follow

Verse 2
G 
That's technology,
innovate a difference
A feat of engineering,
a system made efficient
There isn't a condition,
complication, or revision
Where the answer ain't to build
a more sophisticated widget
Idgit, tired of games,
Bronze Age, Iron Age
Weaponry in stellar form,
shelter finer by the day
Live stock and vegetables in rows
behind the hideaway
Bb 
Am 
Ab 
Mesopotamia out the muh

Verse 3

fuckin' lion cage

If it's out of the bag,

then it's out of bag

If it's out of the bag,

then it's out of bag

If it's out of the bag,

then it's out of bag

Now that is a powerful cat

Verse 4

Now that is a powerful cat

Verse 5
G 
Ab 
You take a lever and a pulley and
G 
a winch and a wedge
You get a labyrinth of aqueducts
and pyramid steps
Before the Jesus,
Archimedes on that miracle tech
Year zero, you could feel
the future rearing its head
Put a shoe on a horse,
shoot a man with a gun
Steam power,
bifocals and mechanical funk
Manipulate electricity, no,
it can not be done
Bb 
Yes it can,
Am 
ain't a dam that could cancel the flood
Ab 
G 
True to human curiosity,
at the tree of knowledge
Pulling genies out of bottles,
stealing from Leonardo's
Plane train auto,
hauling space age cargo
Bizarro technology,
every day is tomorrow
Telegraph, telephone,
you could flirt with Doris
In Poughkeepsie from a cozy
geodesic dome in Sydney
Bb 
You can write a letter with no paper
G 
You could fix anything with a laser

Verse 6
G 
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag,
then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Ab 
G 
Eb 
Now that is a powerful cat

Verse 7

Now that is a powerful cat

Verse 8
G 
You could get a robot limb
for your blown off limb
Ab 
G 
Later on, the same technology could
automate your gig
As awesome as it is
Wait it gets awful,
you could split a atom willy- nilly
If it's energy that can be used
for killing then it will be
It's not about a better knife,
it's chemistry and genocide
Bb 
Am 
And medicine for tempering the heck
Ab 
G 
in the projector light
Landmines, Agent Orange,
leaded gas, cigarettes
Cameras in your favorite corners,
plastic in the wilderness
We cannot be trusted with
the stuff that we come up with
The machinery could eat us, we just
really just love our buttons
Um, technology,
focus on the other shit
3D- printed body parts,
dehydrated onion dip
You could buy a jet- ski from a
cell phone on a jumbo jet
G 
T- E- C- H- N- O- L- O- G- Y,
G 
it's the ultimate

Verse 9
G 
Climate, geography
Medical research,
automated teaching
Distribution, better health
G 
Unknown vectors

Verse 10
G 
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Ab 
G 
Now that is a powerful cat
