Dinosaurs
So, here’s a little girl with a message for the world
But all you want to do is knock her down a peg or two
It’s all you want to do
Dinosaurs.
She will not rise to your tactics
She can see straight through your words as she is
She is straight-talking, and direct of thought
And you; Dinosaurs.
Got a sick feeling in my belly
Like a lead weight, feeling gravity’s pull
From inside me, what a time to Be
To be alive, during times like these
The audacity to breath
Dinosaurs, you’re all dinosaurs.
Get the fuck out the kitchen!
Get out of the kitchen.
Take your awful opinions
And yes, I’ve seen you on the BBC
You’re blinkered and tired
And the worst kind of liar
A Dinosaur!
Take heed of the signs
Call in Faith, call in Science
You stand to cash a bad cheque
Stand for all our regrets
Got your head in the sand
Still got feet on dry land
When the house is on fire
When the weather is wild
When the time’s set to change
When the truth is unveiled
When that lesson is learnt
All that money you earned
Put it back in the Earth
And lament what it’s really, what’s really, what’s really, really worth
So go little girl, address the leaders of the world
Despite what they’ll do, what they’ll try do to, to you
Dinosaurs

You dug too deep down.
Didn’t like what it was that you found.
Didn’t like what you heard
In the briefing room regarding what you disturbed.
It was deep, deep down
So deep down in the ground.
Some things should always be left that way.
Something so unwholesome should never see the light of the day.
Once we’d opened that bore hole up
We knew instantly that we’d really fucked up
Can’t close it --- it’s done
Let whatever’s inside have an unhindered run
Godspeed! It’s coming for you
Something’s coming for you
It’s coming for you
Something’s coming for you
And unknown to everyone on the surface layer
There is something waiting down there
Something just out of view
That made your stomach churn in the briefing room
And if you didn’t like that
Then you’re not going to like what is coming for you.
It is coming for you….
Something’s coming for you….
