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 naivete 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
