Goodbye Humanosaurus
Andy Partridge/XTC Lyrics

Just take your suitcase from my wardrobe
Let's part ways and you can take any belongings you have stored at my place.

And pack it full of guns and bombs
However, before you leave, please ensure that you arm yourself with deadly weapons and explosives.

Then CFC's and germ-war microbes
Moreover, please take along some chlorofluorocarbons and germ warfare microbes for a little extra destruction on your way out.

We've been destroying stuff too long
It's high time we acknowledged that we have been causing destruction and damage for far too long.

And there's no home for us
We have made the Earth uninhabitable and therefore there is no place for us to go.

Just you raise your voice in chorus
When you leave, please raise your voice in chorus to say goodbye.

Goodbye humanosaurus
Goodbye, mankind, who has acted as a destructive force similar to that of a dinosaur.

They'll teach at schools we were cold-blooded
Future generations will study us as cold-blooded, unfeeling beings.

And that we spoke and threw a turd
They will also learn that we spoke crude language and acted in a rude and disrespectful manner.

How we all drowned as litter flooded
Our litter and waste got the better of us, leading to our downfall.

We treated Earth like it was dirt
We have abused and mistreated Earth as if it was an insignificant, dispensable thing.

And so I must implore us
Therefore, I appeal to each and every one of us.

Don't go near that exit door-us (Doris)
Let's not rush towards our ultimate destruction.

Goodbye humanosaur
Once again, let us bid farewell to humankind, who have inflicted immeasurable harm to the planet.

Be no more us
May we cease to exist or at least change our ways profoundly.

They were big with brains the size of a [burger bap]
In comparison to us, dinosaurs might have had bigger brains that we would give them credit for.

History has got 'em down as a homo sap
Despite our advancement, history might have underestimated the intelligence of dinosaurs.

All that now remains
However, they are now long gone and all that remains of them are fossils.

Are the overgrown fast lanes
What we have today are cities and highways that clog with traffic and pollution.

And junk food cartons
Furthermore, we have a consumerist culture that creates mountains of trash involving junk food packaging as one of the main culprits.

They'd adore us if we'd just sweep up the floor-us
The dinosaurs would probably be impressed by us if we could clean up our act and take care of the planet.

Goodbye humanosaur
Thus, let us wave goodbye again to humanity, who seem to be hastening our extinction.

Clean the shore
Instead of polluting and littering, let us clean the rivers and seas.

No more war
Let us put a permanent end to the various wars that we engage in regularly.

Humanosaurus
Once we were the apex predators of the Earth, but it seems that we have become our own worst enemies.
