Dumb Story

There is something dumb that I saw on YouTube.
Chemicals combine, flashing lightening
Starts a process there.
Methane/ammonia is in the air.

See the life, see the cell, the first plants.
See how life evolved over time. This video
Said I had to know,

That you were just an ape who had lost his hair
And learned to walk upright down in Africa.
And I was laughing myself silly watching the video.

‘cause it said,
“Life just evolved from random chance acting alone.
Natural selection is the process that got it done.
Millions of years turned some frogs into princes.”
It’s a Dumb Story, it doesn’t make sense.

Fish snuck out of the water to see if they could
Walk on land and make their lungs grow,
So they tried
To breathe the air for a little while.

Birds learned to fly when they fell from trees,
And ape brains got bigger because they ate meat.
And I was laughing myself silly watching the video.

‘cause it said,
“Life just evolved from random chance acting alone.
Natural selection is the process that got it done.
Millions of years turned some frogs into princes.”
It’s a Dumb Story, it doesn’t make sense.

Teacher says I must believe or else I’ll fail.
There’s no evidence but still he claims it’s real.
I don’t know how to get out of this mess.
It’s a Dumb Story, it doesn’t make sense.

Oh, no. Oh no.

I got tired of listening
To the nonsense they were spreading around.
My faith in school was fading.
So I searched the Internet and I found

That it said,
There’s no reason for me to feel so alone.
They’ve searched for the proof but it has never come.
The theory is wrong no matter what some think.
Search the ground but you won’t find a missing link.

So I say,
"Don’t waste your time saying that we evolved.
It didn’t happen, that’s all I need to know.
Amphibians can’t evolve into princes.
It’s a Dumb Story, it doesn’t make sense."
