Jurassick Dark Lyrics

[Ian Malcolm: Genetic power's the most awesome force the planet's ever seen but you Wield it like a kid who's found his dad's gun.]

[Dr. Grant: The world's just changed so radically and we're all... running to catch up.]

Before we appeared, its evolution crafted

Extraordinary creatures We couldn't even imagine

Phylums fantastic, appetites gigantic

Bird-like lizards with a surprising advantage

Survival of the fittest brought an age of massives

Cretaceous synapsis through days Jurassic

And in those days giant tree limbs snapped with

A slow moving stream made of sap which…

Encased proboscis suckers, blood residing thoracic

As amber preserved Dee-oxy-ribo-nucleic acid (DNA)

Which stayed safe for millennia like current day plastics

Until we arrived to extract it…

With lasik-like precision, visions of reliving the past,

Advents in cryogenics, the first egg hatched

It took the world by surprise

How could time's passage all of a sudden become elastic?

[Ellie Sattler: Where do you get 100 million year old dinosaur blood?]

[John Hammond: It's all part of the miracle of cloning.]

[Mr. DNA: Bingo! Dino DNA!]

They say rage is primal

But we're just tiny mammals

When it comes to the wars we wage

Beliefs are motifs

Until their waves become tidal

Drowning all in glorious ways

DNA spun a vital

Double-helix recital

Millenniums before we reigned

History is suicidal

If man remains its rival

We'll all go extinct

Like the dinosaur age

[Dr. Grant: We're out of a job | Ian Malcolm: Don't you mean extinct?]

Evangelicals say earth was created in 7 days

But their literature has no pictorial proof

Saying God created dinosaurs but considered them corrupted

So he killed off that phantasmagorical OOPS!

I guess the Garden of Eden had no regard for the heathens

It wouldn't dare let in such gargantuan, great groups

Adam must've thwarted behemoths from reaching the gate

While Jesus guarded Eve from that garden snake's tooth

Disregard for discoveries made in the midwest plains

Turns the real dino story dissolute

Some are so ridiculously in the dark

They think brachiosaurs fit on the ark

That doesn't float in the primordial soup

Evolution's not a theory, creationism's an illusion

The 'Good Book's editorial pursuit

Bible thumpers keep trumping along with such assumptions

Which couldn't carry the weight of a T-Rex foot

[Ian Malcolm: You didn't earn the knowledge for yourself so... you don't take any Responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as Fast as you could. And before you even knew what you had you patented it, and Packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunch box. And now you're selling it! You want to Sell it!]

(Chorus x1)

[Dr. Grant: Dinosaurs and man... Two species separated by 65 million years of evolution Have just been thrown back into the mix together.]

Look I know its a lot of time to digest

No way we could know the entirety of what life did exist

All we can do is turn stones and describe what's left

Study footprints and bones, surmising the rest

I just think claims of supersized humans

Are kind of a stretch… [Ray Arnold: PLEASE!]

Assuming dinos lived beside man in (the book of) Genesis

Is the wildest guess… [Ellie Sattler: They have no idea what century they're in]

It was one thing for Cope to put an Elasmosaurus skull

On its tail instead of its neck…

But quite another to claim they were human giants

A union of God's sons and the daughters of men

Pencils up class, it's time to reflect

Imagination's beneficial and we're trying our best

But bone wars keep breaking ties that bind and protect

Our own existence which consists of the tiniest speck

So, when you think of the past show a little respect

Five mass extinctions, at the brink of the next

What have we learned?

Life on earth's been kind of a mess

I say lets keep gathering facts for what little time we have left...

[Ian Malcolm: I'm simply saying uh..]

Abolish history's abominable text and

Quit pretending we're an indomitable Rex

[Ian Malcolm: ...finds a way...]
