it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones
their belief is strong for times come and gone
and in the school the parents cry and now bemoan
it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones

the six million year age we are nearing
as we changed in to our modern man
we fed ourselves with prey that we killed with those big sticks
and the tools we could make with our hands

it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones
their belief is strong for times come and gone
and in the school the parents cry and now bemoan
it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones

in their world, they know god has shown his wisdom,
all the simple and the greatest things he did
there's some folks cryin in that courtroom today
but the evolution theory now has lived

it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones
their belief is strong for times come and gone
and in the school the parents cry and now bemoan
it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones


Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom
Or the honest and simple things he did
There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today
That know about the humble way he lived

from their house in the holler, yell REPENT HERE!
though their blind trust will now remain the same
you know I'd swear that I just saw us, now evolving still
I guess it's what you believe it's all the same


it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones
their belief is strong for times come and gone
and in the school the parents cry and now bemoan
it's a sad day in Cobb County, with the bones
