Dinosaur

Long ago and far away in a different age

When I was a dumb young guy

Fossilized photos of my life then

Illustrate what an easy prey I must have been

Standing in the sun, idiot savant

Something like a monument

I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones

Ignorance has always been something I excel in

Followed by naivet

And pride

Doesn't take a scientist to see how

Any clever predator could have a piece of me

Standing in the sun, idiot savant

Something like a monument

I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones

When I look back on the past

It's a wonder I'm not yet extinct

All the mistakes and bad judgments I made

Nearly pushed me to the brink

It doesn't pay to be too nice,

It's the one thing I have learned

Still I made my fossil bed

Now I toss and turn

I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
