Tom McFadden - Fossil Rock Anthem lyrics

CHORUS 1: Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight They've been down there for a really long time They contain the history of life They've been down there for a really long time Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight They've been down there for a really long time (They're the schist*) They are literally on the grind Take your hammer out and... break that VERSE 1: Look at the ground. Partly rock Plus plants and animals stuck in their spot. Huh Each new layer stackin' up So the oldest on the bottom and the newest on top “So how old is your fossil, bro?” Well it was pretty far down so it's pretty darn old And I dated this one, so I gots to know It's from 3.5 billion years ago Yo. I got that lava flow, Volcano Air full of particles & smoke There goes life as they know Now that's a blast! But most rocks ain't movin' that fast The sediment's evidence. Like a present tellin' us of the past CHORUS 2: Take your chisel out and… flake that BREAK: Everyday I'm Shovelin'… Brushin' ‘em, Brushin' ‘em VERSE 2: Brush it off and hear the story of life as told through rock The story of the earth as told through life. Now stop... do the trilobite Continental plates (are driftin') Mountains in the states (upliftin') Tend to isolate (species) By affecting who you mate with (believe me) Slow moves. Long time. Push up mountains to the sky Slow moves. Long time. Open up a great divide Slow moves. Long time. Fossils found on either side Fossils found they tell us why... tell the history of life.... Slow moves. Long time. Slow moves. Long time Slow moves. Long time. Slow moves. Long time Plates are driftin' at ya boy. Plates are driftin' at ya boy Plates are driftin' at ya boy. Now boom. There's an asteroid
