Dinosaur Songtext
von Slim Dusty

Oh the dinosaur was a great big thing
It got bigger everday
It got so big that it ate and ate
′Till it ate it all away
Oh 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 we could learn alot
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,
Would waste it all away
Yes all those ships and guns and planes
And all that armour plate
Oh 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 ′till doom with their bragging rights
While the truth was turned and tossed
But it seems to me already
that the dollar is the boss
Oh the ends gonna come and go
While they're standing on their heads
While standing on their dignity
Too stuborn to change your bend
And all the while those sleep 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 everday
It grew so big that it ate and ate
′Till 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
