Dinosaurs Songtext
von The Irish Rovers

We′re dinosaurs, the old guard
We march to a different drum
Dinosaurs who never needed help from anyone
We always did it our way
No matter, wrong or right
We're still around and doin′ what we like
Dinosaurs are on the prowl tonight

Some of us still walk the earth, though fewer than before
Our knocks are how we learned, no school can teach us more
We've seen it all, we've done it all, there′s nothing new, you′ll find
You have to pay your dues and hope that Lady Luck is kind

We're dinosaurs, the old guard
We march to a different drum
Dinosaurs who never needed help from anyone
We always did it our way
No matter, wrong or right
We′re still around and doin' what we like
(What we like!)
Dinosaurs are on the prowl tonight


As you climb the ladder, better watch out where ya step
If ya slip and tumble down, there is no safety net
And, if you reach the stars, cast a wary eye around
It′s wise to heed the lesson, "What goes up must come down"

We're dinosaurs, the old guard
We march to a different drum
Dinosaurs who never needed help from anyone
We always did it our way
No matter, wrong or right
We′re still around and doin' what we like
(What we like!)
Dinosaurs are on the prowl tonight

It's best you pay attention, and look out for yourself
The takers take ′til nothing′s on the shelf
(Watch yourself)
They'll charm you with illusion, tell you things you want to hear
They′re magic 'cause your money disappears

They look at us and wonder, "What keeps them goin′ on?"
"Don't they understand their glory days are gone?"
And no-one knows but you when it′s time to step aside
While there's fire in the blood, passion never dies


We're dinosaurs, the old guard
We march to a different drum
Dinosaurs who never needed help from anyone
We always did it our way
No matter, wrong or right
We′re still around and doin′ what we like
(What we like!)
Dinosaurs are on the prowl tonight

We're dinosaurs, the old guard
We march to a different drum
Dinosaurs who never asked for help from anyone
We always did it our way
No matter, wrong or right
We′re still around and doin' what we like
(What we like!)
Dinosaurs are on the prowl tonight
