Walking In Your Footsteps
The Police
Synchronicity
1983

Fifty million years ago
You walked upon the planet so,
Lord of all that you could see
Just a little bit like me,

Walking in your footsteps.

Hey Mr. Dinosaur 
  you really couldn't ask for more
You were God's favourite creature 
  but you didn't have a future

Walking in your footsteps.

Hey mighty brontosaurus
  don't you have a lesson for us
You thought your rule would always last
There were no lessons in your past
You were built three stories high
They say you would not hurt a fly
If we explode the atom bomb
  would they say that we were dumb.

Walking in your footsteps.

Fifty million years ago
They walked upon the plane so
They live in a museum
It's the only place you'll see um.

Walking in your footsteps.........

They say the meek shall inherit the earth...

Walking in your footsteps.........
