ONE
I am the dinosaur
The proud warrior that kicks a** and takes names
The superfabulous byproduct of corporate America
The last of McCarthy’s overzealous communist witch hunters
And the armed nuclear time bomb of rampant patriotism.

Sometimes people tell me i’m whacked in the head
because I make love to cows in the pastures
under beautiful star spangled night skies.

TWO
In the loony-bin they tried everything to
MAKE ME NORMAL
adult people started noticing something may be wrong after
this one time when I was a kid my friend hit me,
So I ripped off his leg and ate well for a week
Because i’m a warrior, the dinosaur.

I love my country like a father
And you should too
Sometimes father freedom ain't the best
but I forgive him
Other kids get much worse done to them
I’m not even gonna go touch on what my exalted uncle in the Vatican did to those boys.
Are you going to let him do that again?
ARE YOU?

THREE
Anyway I guess life’s alright
happy go lucky with a few quirks and... anger problems
What am I even doing here?
Who am I to you?
Am I another one of your whitetrashpoorsonofabitches
The answer is no.
I am THE free spirited dinosaur.
and life is but a dream
I wanna turn it into a fun joke.
So you all can smile once in awhile
Because I love you
I have a dream.
I am the dinosaur.
