The Discovery Channel

by Diego Santiago

When looking at history,
Where people have been,
I wonder if you notice how
Wealth enters in

The first thing they ask, when they dig up a grave
Is, "Is this a master or is this a slave?"
When they tested the Ice Man they found to their grief
That it was not so certain he was a chief.

Whether it's Neaderthal children
Or cute little Mummies,
The thing of importance is how
The priests wrapped their tummies. 

What matters immensely
In the grand scheme of things
Is how people are placed
And what power it brings.

Just notice how those bones are laid.
They can’t be Queen Esther,
They must be the maid.

Notice the arm with the silver band
With rings on the fingers
And a sword in the hand.

Don’t talk to me of the prophet Amos
When you can dig up King Tut,
Who is rich and famous.

This is the stuff we want to know.
Keep digging ‘em up
And we’ll watch your show.
