I'm A Dinosaur

Long ago and far away
In a different age
When I was a dumb young guy
I 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
I'm a dinosaur
Somebody is digging my bones

Ignorance has always been something I excel in
Followed by naiveté 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
I'm a dinosaur

Ooh when I look back on the past
Some wonder I'm not yet extinct
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
And now I toss and turn

I'm a dinosaur
Somebody is digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur

(Why in the world would you ever drop it?
Why would you ever drop it?
Really there's no answer)

I'm a dinosaur
Somebody's digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur
Somebody's digging my bones
