about

"This is cool. I like this. I think I know who this is. This is that french guy who made that song about the colors and war. right? Blue is the color of… I love that track.
The voice sounds like that guy as well as the overall aesthetic.
Well, regardless if you are he, you have found your target audience. The sneaky thing about this, of course, is that when one manages to successfully not be distracted by the very clever and accomplished lyrics, one realizes that this is compositionally very very impressive. The choice of slightly absurd tones here is clearly intentional although I bet a lot of idiots don’t realize.
Melodically this does a ton. I love it. It has very much the same art plan as they might be giants – great composition built around kind of bouncy melodies, that are deceptively accomplished both in form and in narrative.
Nice work!"

lyrics

(…)
You’re way too much trouble
(…)
You’re turning everything to rubble
(…)
So could you be more careful?
Watch where you go
Where you step
That would help

Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body
Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body

Dinosaur
No one wants to fight you
Dinosaur
There’s even some of us who like you
Dinosaur
We know you’re not too clever so
Might we suggest
You make less
Of a mess

Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body
Dinosaur
Your body’s too big
For your brain

Dinosaur
You’re so big
And you’re so strong
So why get along
With the puny throng
That’s swarming round your ankles

Dinosaur
You’re so proud
So well endowed
Head up in the clouds
Oblivious to the crowds
Below you crush and mangle

Dinosaur
You stand out
You’re number one
Is it any fun
‘f’you’re the only one
competing for the title

Dinosaur
Concentrate
It’s not too late
We can help you make
Sense out of this
Complicated tangle

Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body
Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body

Dinosaur
You should be more humble
Dinosaur
You’re not too big to stumble you could
Dinosaur
You could crumble under
Your very own weight
What a ridiculous fate

Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body
Dinosaur
Your body’s too big
For your brain

Dinosaur
Don’t be scared
Don’t be afraid
We’ll come to your aid
We can be your guide
And steer you through the jungle

Dinosaur
Don’t be dazed
Don’t be confused
Do not be perplexed
There’s too much at stake
For your weak mind to handle

Dinosaur
Don’t be mad
Don’t be irate
Too much on your plate
Driving you insane
With fear and pain and sorrow

Dinosaur
Don’t despair
We’ll help you out
‘f’you don’t wipe us out
If you let us live
to see tomorrow

Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body
Dinosaur
Your brain is too small
For your body

Dinosaur
Dinosaur
Dinosaur
Dinosaur wouldn’t you
Rather survive?
