Once it was the dinosaurs that ran the world

Now they run our cars

And just as everybody knows they got theirs

Just as we'll get ours. We'll surely get ours

The heavens scream down to come and take a swim

But the gene pools a bit too cool for us to jump right in

We're going back, going home

Home to the ocean

Where all of life was grown

We're going back, going home

Home to the ocean

To embrace demotion. Going back

Once the Holy Roman Empire ruled half the world

They still returned to dust

And just as everybody knows

They had their quirks. But they were just like us

With the heavens still screaming down to come and take a swim

But the gene pools a bit too cool for us to jump right in

We're going back, going home

Home to the ocean

Where all of life was grown

We're going back, going home

Home to the ocean

To embrace demotion. Going back

When you die and you go to your land of reward

Will you be sharpening your pencil or your sword?

When you die and you go to your land of reward

'Hey look there's Charles Darwin!'

He's waiting to hand you your award

We're going back, going home

Home to the ocean

Where all of life was grown

We're going back, going home

Home to the ocean

To embrace demotion
