In Denver, Colorado grown and raised,
\nin the laboratory’s where I spent most of my days;
\nflippin’ switches, linkin’ gadgets, mixin’ potions so neat
\nmakin science discoveries that couldn’t be beat.
\nThen a couple o’ dudes who were bein’ so rude
\nstarted talkin’ smack about my Hubbard Review
\nI made one little threat and my peers got scared and said
\n“We’re shuttin ya down, then we’ll get outta your hair.”<\/p>\n
I knocked em out cold and when they came to
\nthey were in my time travel pod halfway through.
\nWhere exactly we were I had no idea.
\nI said “who remembers your prehistoric trivia?”<\/p>\n
We launched outta the pod around 150 million BC
\nand I yelled to my colleagues “check these sphinx moths, ya see?”
\nLooked around at my jungle and visited time and again,
\ntamed me a dino, became the first of cave men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
