Protoplasmisk slam
A song by Michael Cassidy. You can hear the music here:

Protoplasmic Crud
Well his parents both were monkeys
Who had crawled out of the mud
He was simply made of matter
Protoplasmic crud
Formed by subatomic bumping
In a random sort of way
With no goal and no direction
Simple animated clay
Made complete by evolution
He finally learned to walk
Although nothing needed saying
He somehow learned to talk
And he built a vast dominion
In which each thing had its use
Saying all this leads to nothing
Life's a complicated ruse
Then he gave himself a title
Made himself a Ph.D.
Gave himself the job of teaching
This insane philosophy
Though he claims we're going nowhere
We are told that we should hurry
And though we're only chemicals
The chemicals still worry
But now science has the answers
To the problems of our race
They've made billion dollar rockets
To bring rocks from outer space
Yes their ancestors were cavemen
And they've shown it through the ages
By their inability
To listen to the sages
Now the answer to this riddle
Should they ever care to hear it
Is that matter cannot move
Until it's touched by spirit
But it's hard to teach a monkey
The things he cannot feel
And it's hard to show a caveman
What's beyond his cave is real
But the hardest thing of all
Is showing the absurdity
Of claiming life's an accident
To men with no humility
