While most people will argue that bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, or Lou Bega have the best lyrics, when Creation Museum founder Ken Ham asked Google who had the “Best Classic Rock Lyrics” late last night, he claims he found the answers in Genesis.
“I always thought God himself was the all-knowing genius behind Genesis, but it turns out it was the angel Peter Gabriel,” said Ham. “In the beginning there were five members of the band, and it was good, but soon Gabriel made his Exodus into a successful solo career.”
While he only recently discovered the prog rock group, he’s become a huge supporter overnight, “I grew up in Australia so I didn’t get to claim British bands as my own, like you do here in America. However, I’m going to be careful to not overdo it, I may be from down under, but the Bible warns of doing anything INXS.”
Ham said his favorite Genesis lyric was this line from the band’s 1971 single “The Knife.”
“Stand up and fight, for you know we are right. We must strike at the lies that have spread like disease through our minds,” recited Ham while literally believing the universe is 6,000 years old.
He’s also a big fan of the song “Walk The Dinosaur,” which he apparently thinks is a Genesis song.
“I like to think Noah inspired those lyrics when he was putting the animals on the ark,” said Ham. “Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur onto the ark.”
When we told Ham that “Walk The Dinosaur” was actually a song by 80’s pop group Was (Not Was), he held firm in his belief that it was a Genesis deep track.
“According to the website MetroLyrics, that definitely is a Genesis song (not was). I listen to it all the time,” said Ham. “And MetroLyrics knows their stuff. They’re pretty much the gospel when it comes to song lyrics.”
