lyrics

The 1870s
A time of growth and industry
Paleontology would never be the same
Two men left a legacy
In thirty years of rivalry
136 new species to their names

Self-taught and full of hope
The first man’s name was Edward Cope
Led by a code of honor he could not avoid
Others held in high regard
The Yale scholar O.C. Marsh
Who saw his counterpart as someone to exploit

Full steam ahead
They set out on their quest
The key to the past
Buried deep in the wild west

Some say the feud began
With Marsh’s underhanded plan
To bribe the quarries and acquire what they found
Fights began to escalate
As competition turned to hate
The field of science had become a battleground

From work with hired spies
To breaking bones and spreading lies
They couldn’t stop ‘til every dollar had been spent
All of Cope’s discoveries
His nemesis had tried to seize
With his connections in the U.S. Government

Full steam ahead
They set out on their quest
The key to the past
Buried deep in the wild west

Broke and vilified
They ruined their lives
While trying to settle the score
It’s the tale of the Dino War

Poetic justice robbed Marsh of his win
All of his work, repossessed by the Smithsonian

Broke and vilified
They ruined their lives
While trying to settle the score
It’s the tale of the Dino War
