Dinosaur

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

Now when I think of the dinosaur I think of the world today
And wonder if we like the dinosaur will waste it all away
Yes all those ships and guns and planes and all that armour plate
Though it seems to me already that we'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 doing the same

Oh they'll stand to doom in their brand of
Right while the truth is turned and tossed
But it seems to me already that the dollar is the boss
Oh the end's gonna come and go while they're standing on their heads
Or 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 of that poor old dinosaur

Yes the dinosaur was a great big thing it got bigger every day
It grew 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
