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
