My Uncle Works in a Dinosaur Factory

Dr Wu
Calling Dr Wu
Dr Wu
Calling Dr Wu
Calling Dr Wu
I am
Dropping a rhyme
On a tropical island
With topical timing
It’s not as if I live
The opulent life
Full of watches and diamonds
I’ve got to keep trying
I’ve got to keep writing
'Cause each of my lines
Is a genetic code
To open my life up
And lighten the load
One drop of amber
Is like a little globe
To provide the real globe
With the life that has flowed
Through its veins
Its arteries
Change has arrived
And it came to party
Rave through the night
To the dawn of a day
Another day
Another dollar
That I can’t wait to spend
Make way for tomorrow
Today
If only
Could have
Would have
Should have
Too late
It goes to show you
What another you may have done
Pray to the sun
Looking down the barrel of a gun
Look into an eye that’s opening
For the first time
You’re both seeing
A different side of the coin
Flip it now
Heads or tails
Win of fail
It’s a boy
It’s a girl
It’s a lizard
It’s a mammal
It’s a bird
Against the world
A beast of burden
Clutching pearls like you
Just like you
If you can take a life
And make it yours
The life can turn around
And take yours
No accord to break
Of course you couldn’t shake
A set of razor claws
No no no
Nature doesn’t give
And doesn’t take
It merely says
«It's in my nature»
I hate to burst your bubble
But you’re made up of the same stuff
That can make or break you
Ever closer to the sun we flew
Until we landed on the moon
That’s one small step for man
One giant footprint in the sand
Doctor Wu
Calling doctor Wu
Time’s almost run out
And torn the clock in two
Division among the divisions is hell
Divisions of cells
Divisions of self
The vision itself
Is sufficient to sell
The decision to salvage
A living thing out
Of the DNA found
At the dig site
And it’s exciting to give life
Because
Doctor Wu
We’re reseeding
The garden of Eden
With logic and reason
Now it’s God that is grieving
And feeling the wrath of a heathen
Do we need to stop the bereavement?
Previously we were heeding his creed
But it’s recently been
Pretty hard to believe him
In God years
Sixty five million
Is just an awkward moment
But when you’re caught up
In the jaws of dinosaurs
I don’t think it’s time
To talk atonement
Today
If only
Could have
Would have
Should have
Too late
It goes to show you
What another you may have done
Pray to the sun
Looking down the barrel of a gun
Look into an eye that’s opening
For the first time
You’re both seeing
A different side of the coin
Flip it now
Heads or tails
Win of fail
It’s a boy
It’s a girl
It’s a lizard
It’s a mammal
It’s a bird
Against the world
A beast of burden
Clutching pearls like you
Just like you
Doctor Wu
Calling doctor Wu
There’s not a lot of time to lose
With all we’ve got to do
For the opportunity
Forwarding science
And forming alliances
More than divine
It’s awesome to find
New forms of life
Four or five more new species
Hybrid dinosaurs
Each alive
Inspiring awe
If you can take a life
And make it yours
The life can turn around
And take yours
No accord to break
Of course you couldn’t shake
A set of razor claws
No no no
Nature doesn’t give
And doesn’t take
It merely says
«It's in my nature»
I hate to burst your bubble
But you’re made up of the same stuff
That can make or break you
