65 million years ago 
The dinosaurs were in the climax  
Of specialization and grandeur 
These gigantic crocodile-lizards of the dry land 
Moved amidst a stately flora of palms and sequoias 
But the era of the rulers of land and sea  
Ended all of a sudden

Bb/D                              Eb7sus2      
At a time of the mass extinction of these creatures, 
Dm/F                          Fmaj9          Fsus2  Fmaj9 
Most plants and animal species were wiped out suddenly

Whatever may have been the cause, 
So soon as these great reptiles had disappeared, 
Small primitive mammals began to multiply,  
Spreading around the globe 
This marked the beginning of the age of mammals 
And with it the rise of man

Bb/D                             Dm/F            Eb7sus2 
But even in the phase of highest mental capacity  
       Fmaj9        Fsus2  Fmaj9 
The humans were unable to cultivate  
Bb/D                                  Dm/F 
Their development potential simultaneously 
Eb7sus2  Fmaj9       Fsus2  Fmaj9 

Fsus2sus4               Dm/F   Fmaj9  Bb/D 
We send robots into space   
               F9sus4   Dm/F    Dm6  Dm/F  Eb7sus2 
While our natural senses atrophy 
Fsus2sus4               Dm/F   Fmaj9  Bb/D 
As a victim of seductive convenience,  
Fsus2sus4    Dm/F        Bb/D  Dm/F  Eb7sus2 
We are losing our natural instincts for survival

If a global natural catastrophe  
Were to destroy  
Our entire set of technological aids 
We would suffer the same fate  
Like the dinosaurs 
65 million years ago  
We send robots into space  
But lost our connection home
