作词 : Buffett Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett Missing link crouched upon a promontory rock Trying to figure out his biological clock no one around to announce his arrival so he's got to get to work on his sense of survival oh, oh it's a dangerous world Oh but in China they got smart real fast that's where they invented the manmade blast they lost a few fingers and some bamboo shacks but they gave birth to a tribe of pyromaniancs oh, oh it's a dangerous world (dangerous world dangerous world) fire in the sky, lava in the ocean sitting around waiting for the next explosion back in the 50s they thought it made good sense to teach all the school children 'bout civil defense don't be scared (don't be scared) do not cry (please don't cry) just dive under your desk and kiss your ass goodbye oh, oh such a dangerous world (dangerous world dangerous world) it was a hell of a hustle paranoia promotion everybody duck and cover just waitin' for the next explosion Where're you gonna be when it hits the fan got a plan whatcha gonna do if it lands on you where's your point of view down at the beach club there's a sales convention night sky is the focus of that crowd's attention It's no cosmic collision just a fireworks show but they feel it in their hearts when those concussion bombs blow oh, oh such a dangerous world (dangerous world dangerous world) gunpowder's louder than Newton's law of motion everybody's waiting for the next explosion fire on the sky falling in the ocean sitting around waiting for the next explosion (sitting around waiting for the next explosion)
