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 alway 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 judgements 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
