Walking In Your Footsteps lyrics - The Police song

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 favorite 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 they would say that we were dumb

Walking in your footsteps

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

Walking in your footsteps

They say the meek shall inherit the earth

Walking in your footsteps
