Jurassick Dark from Cicada Exoskeletons by Tim Stiles

[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
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!]

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: 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 dino's 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...]
