[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing in the sun, idiot savant
Something like a monument

[Chorus]
I'm a dinosaur, somebody's digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur, somebody's digging my bones

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing in the sun, idiot savant
Something like a monument

[Chorus]
I'm a dinosaur, somebody's digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur
[Bridge]
Oh, when I look 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 and now I toss and turn

[Chorus]
I'm a dinosaur, somebody's digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I'm a dinosaur, somebody's digging my bones
I'm a dinosaur, somebody's digging my bones
