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
