lyrics

Devil put them bones in the ground (words&music by Hans Hartgers)

At school we read in genesis how God created life
But he misses out on dinosaurs, a source of constant strife
Between me and my teacher, once I asked him to explain
His disappointment was as big as Adams was in Cain

Devil put them bones in the ground,
bones in the ground, bones in the ground
Devil put them bones in the ground
to lead us all astray

The bones that our forefathers found, burried in the ground
Did not match no animal that they had ever found
Were there ones fierce dragons that roamed around on earth?
Poppycock and fairytales, for this is what I heard...

Them bones destroyed the lives of Dr. Marsh and Mr. Cope
The story of their "fossilfeud" reads like a vicious soap
They fought for nearly twenty years, embittered to the bone
When you're a paleontologist you'll end up all alone

So don't trust them heathen scientists, all they tell is lies
Turn upside down your family tree and much to your surprise
Adam has moved down a notch, a diff'rent tree takes shape
Instead of him resides on top a big and hairy ape!

And when we go to heaven... or when we go to hell
The things we learn about them bones, we wish that we could tell
To all our friends down there on earth: "Take warning and take heed
don't put your faith in scientists, they are the devil's breed!"

Whether you believe in Darwin or to the gods do pray
Museums of natural history would have nothing on display
If the ground had been devoid of lizardegg and -bone
So tell me Mr. Devil, did you do that all alone?

Yeah, I did put them bones in the ground,
bones in the ground, bones in the ground
I did put them bones in the ground
and led you all astray!
