Ooh, ooh ooh,
ooh, ooh.
Flies are buzzing 'round my head
vultures circling the dead,
picking up every last crumb.
The big fish eat the little ones,
big fish eat the little ones,
not my problem, give me some.
You can try the best you can,
if you try the best you can, the
best you can is good enough.
You can try the best you can, if you try
the best you can, the
best you can is good enough.
This one's optimistic, this one went to market,
this one just came out of the swamp,
this one drops a payload fodder for the animals,
living on animal farm.
Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh.
I'd really like to help you man, I'd
really like to help you man.
Nervous messed up marrionette
float around on a prison ship.
Dinosaurs roaming the earth.
Dinosaurs roaming the earth.
Dinosaurs roaming the earth.
Ah, ah, ah, oh.
Ooh, ooh. ooh.
