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 naivete 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 Iook back on the past
it's a wonder I'm not yet extinct
all the mistakes and bad judgements 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.
People fly people flee
people clam and say "it wasn't me"
people fish people beef
people arm to teeth
yes, you've got people on the tube
walking on the moon
people at the bottom of the sea
people in tombs
people in igloos
even a tribe of pygmies.
People are the main spring
turning the world around
people, they're the main spring
spinning this world upside down
People sun people toast
people tire shile other people smoke
people bowl people rock
people pay to see two people box.
Watch me face me
dress me baby me
phone me wire me
house me bug me fire me.
People are the main spring
spinning the world around
people, they're the main spring
turning this world inside out.
