[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...]
