Dinosaur Lyrics

Oh the dinosaur was a great big thing, he got bigger every day,
It got so big that it ate and ate 'til it ate it all away,
Oh, you couldn't hurt that old dinosaur, it had a hide like armour plate,
But when it wasn't eating right, he died beneath the weight,
Yes the dinosaur was a great big thing, but now it is no more,
And I feel that we can learn a lot, from that poor old dinosaur.
[Instrumental]

Now when I think of the dinosaur, I think of the world today,
I wonder if we like the dinosaur will waste it all away,
Yes all those ships and guns and planes and all that armour plate,
Oh it seems to me already that they're struggling beneath the weight,
Oh, the dinosaur was a great big thing but it had a tiny brain,
So it really makes me wonder why we're doin' the same.
[Instrumental]

Oh, they'll stand 'til doom and their brand of right
While the truth is stirrin' the toss,
Bit it seems to me already that the dollar is the boss,
Oh, the end's gonna come and go while they're standin' on their heads,
Oh, it standing on their dignity too stubborn to change or bend,
And all the while those sleek machines, eat up more and more,
And it makes me think once again, that poor old dinosaur.
{instrumental]

Yes the dinosaur was a great big thing, he got bigger every day,
It got so big that it ate and ate 'til it ate it all away,
Yes the dinosaur was a great big thing, but now it is no more,
And we should learn before it's too late from that poor old dinosaur,
Yes we should learn before it's too late from that poor old dinosaur.
