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
Im a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
Ignorance has always been something I excel in
Followed by naivet
And pride
Doesnt 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
Im a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
When I look back on the past
Its a wonder Im not yet extinct
All the mistakes and bad judgments I made
Nearly pushed me to the brink
It doesnt pay to be too nice,
Its the one thing I have learned
Still I made my fossil bed
Now I toss and turn
Im a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
