Dinosaurs

200 million years they ruled the land
Didn’t take no more than a day for it all to end
You don’t see no more Triceratops, no Tyrannosaurs Rex
And I hate to tell you friend but you and I are gonna be next
It’s only gonna take one wayward meteor
Send us all to sleep with the dinosaurs

Now man can take a forest and turn it into a parking lot
And he can take the deep blue oceans and fill them up with yachts
And he’s good at counting his money and he’s always keeping score
And he’s got the bill collector always knocking on my door
But they’ll be no more mine and they’ll be no more yours
When we all go to sleep with the dinosaurs

And he’s running to the left and he’s running to the right
And he likes to tell everybody else how to live their lives
And he plants the seed of envy and he plants the seed of hate
And he takes pay by the hour for his endless debates
But they’ll be no more congressmen or senators
When we all go to sleep with the dinosaurs

Now you might fear the fire as it falls from the sky
But I won’t shed a tear and I won’t run and hide
And when the burning clouds come to blot out the sun
Can’t say I’ll be too proud of all the things we’ve done

Crusades and caliphates and world wars and genocides
Trenches and tanks and razor wire and borderlines
Commandants and kings and presidents and overlords
Lining us up to live and die by the sword
But they’ll be no more armies and they’ll be no more war 
When we all go to sleep with the dinosaurs

No more mine, no more yours
No more congressmen, no more senators
And no more armies and no more war
Let’s all go to sleep with the dinosaurs
