Andy: “Written for ‘Nonsuch’. Ouch! Sorry about the painful rhymes for saurus. We rehearsed it in a much more stripped down R & B feel (not as campfire as this version) but still it was doomed to the extinction box.”
Andy: “We rehearsed the shirt off of this for the Nonsuch album in so many styles. Blues minimal grind, lighter ska skank with added anchorman ankh angst. You name it. . . anyway, here's the original campfire home demo. Please forgive the rhymes for saurus, my burger bap brain was tied in knots.”
[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
Sing along, join in right here
Just take your suitcase from my wardrobe
And pack it full of guns and bombs
Them CFC's and germ-war microbes
We've been destroying stuff too long
And if there's no hope for us
Just you raise your voice in chorus
Goodbye humanosaurus
They'll teach at schools we were cold-blooded
And that we spoke in fluent hurt
How we all drowned as litter flooded
We treat the Earth like it was dirt
And so I must implore us
Don't go near that exit door-us
Goodbye humanosaur
there'll be no more us
They were big with brains the size of a burger bap
History has got 'em down as a homo sap
And all that now remains
Are the overgrown fast lanes
And junk food cartons
They'd adore us if we'd just sweep up the floor-us
Goodbye humanosaur
Clean the shore
No more war
Humanosaurus
