We Don't Do Aliens Lyrics:

1) Now you've already heard as a matter of course
How it is that we don't do dinosaurs
But there's another topic which needs some retort
It's the notion of archaeological xenomorphs... That's aliens, right?

First, I implore you, please pick up a book.
Check out archaeology in your dictionary!
The study of ancient human beings
through the rubbish and remnants they've left behind.

Ch)

No we don't do aliens,
xenomorphs or UFOs!
Read a book and you will know,
It's people who float our boat.

ET has no place,
In my dig site,
I'm givin' you some insight,
It's humans we dig - right!?

2) But what about the pyramids, so many people cry,
How did they build Stonehenge and the Nazca Lines?
They say there are great cities out there under the sea,
Never mind the fact that straight lines (and blocks) exist in Geology!

3) Giorgio A. Tsoukalos (this guy) has a PhD?
But it seems he studied sports information and has a BA...
Notice how he appeals to academic authority,
And yet tells you we're liars, we who studied archaeology!

4) And as for that idea, that we don't like mysteries,
Why do you think we spend our summers digging on our knees?
We piece together ancient worlds from rubbish and mud
Because we're seeking out what can be understood!

Bridge:

Von Däniken kiss my ass
Here's a close encounter with my trowel!
spank your ass till it's red,
Aliens might hear you howl?
Your theories are weak and old
No matter the books they've sold.
Quit dissin' the subject I love,
Leave your opinions out in the cold!

*Note* This song is meant as it is presented, with a large dose of humour and a terrible singing voice ;p

PS Yes, the Bismuth Crystal is 'lab grown' but it looks cool and illustrates my broader point about lines and blocks which form in geological formations...
