A Song for "Darwin Day"

This was inspired by cogitation on the quote from Darwin wherein he said that if proof was not found for his theory by the time of his death, the theory was false. If there's any interest, I may post a recording of me singing it (so you get the tune).

--------------------------------------------

I was looking for an answer,
Didn't find one so I made something up.
Now the whole world believes it,
And if you don't you're just old-fashioned and dumb.

I was just looking for an answer,
I couldn't find one so I built one that fit.
But if you still cannot prove it,
Then oh God what in the world have I done?

So let it die with me,
It's convenient but untrue;
Let it die with me,
It's a fake; it's an escape
From the Truth.
If I die, it's a lie,
So let it die.
It's a lie, so let it die
When I die.

They're all looking for an answer,
No facts that fit, but that's not too big a deal.
If you come up with a theory,
Then let us know and we'll pretend that it's real.

Let it die with him,
It's convenient but untrue.
Let it die with him,
It's a fake, it's an escape
From the Truth.
It's a lie, so let it die
'Cause he died.
It's a lie, let's let it die,
(Darwin died).

So when you're looking for an answer,
Don't look to them, they'll just spoon-feed you their tale.
All they really have is theories,
But if you look you will find out what is real.

Look around and see what's out there,
Learn all the facts and evidence for yourself.
Find for yourself a conclusion,
Keep testing everything and you will find wealth.

Let's let it die with him,
It was convenient but untrue.
Let it die with him,
It's a fake; it's an escape
From the Truth.

No proof has been found,
Where proof should be abounding,
And there's nothing to say,
It's for sure... so as he said...

Let it die with me,
It's convenient but untrue.
Let it die with me,
It's a fake; it's an escape
From the Truth.

It's a lie, so let it die
When I die.

It's a lie, let it die
When I die.
