Once upon a time, not so long ago
In a land not so far away
Right and wrong were not quite so hard to know
And black and white were not so grayTimes have changed and now it seems
Conscience has gone the way of the dinosaur
But I believe it's still alive and well today
In the hearts of those who will stand up and sayI'm dancing with the dinosaur
Living my life with conscience and conviction
I don't want to see the truth ignored
So I've gotta keep on dancing
I've gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaurGonna dance with the dinosaurThere's a banner waving saying tolerance will set you free
It's the latest thing
While the consequences it leaves behind
Are like a ball and chainBut there's a voice in everyone called conscience
That's been around since God created man
And as we learn to listen to its whispering
We'll find the greatest freedom when we stand up and singBaby, I'm dancing with the dinosaur
Living my life with conscience and conviction
I don't want to see the truth ignored
So I've gotta keep on dancing
You gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaurRight is right and wrong is wrong just like it has been all along
We cannot sit by and see conscience become history
So come on, get up and dance
Dance this dance with meGonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur
Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaurI'm dancing with the dinosaur
Living my life with conscience and conviction
I don't want to see the truth ignored
