First they say the angels sang

And then - the big bang

That was the first day, there's six more

From organisms to single cells

Mu-tate to shells

Then mutate into spores, on

Dry land (dry land)

Where the living scream diamonds! (diamonds!)

Oh...

By the seventh day, he rested as he looked at them

Those men, those men...

Guess it's safe to say that they don't know

Since they're not alone

And there's no dusk or dawn

As they ne-ver washed ashore

But of course, what for?

Who cares what lies beyond, on

Dry land (dry land)

Where the living scream diamonds! (diamonds!)

Oh...

They see our boats, say Oh no, not them again!

And scream Swim! Just swim!

So while the federal buildings blow (explosion sfx)

Below, fish glow

How love-ly that must be

You should've listened to Jacques Cousteau

Don't say you know

Stop sendin' your trash to sea, leave it on a

Dry land (dry land)

Where the living scream diamonds! (diamonds!)

Oh...

He made this world, took it and gave it back again

And we learned no-thing...

Nothing, we learned, w-we learned nothing, right?
