	[[Neil]] explained the song's lyrics in the album's text commentary:<blockquote>"The narrator has a deep jealousy of birdkind's ability to fly. So he blames it all on the earliest known bird, the Archaeopteryx.(The hidden irony is that modern birds are probably not directly descended from the Archaeopteryx, which may not even have been capable of flight.) He hopes he can alter the course of history, and rid himself of the birds which taunt him in the present...by busting a cap in Mr. Archaeopteryx."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soa2ux9FepQ</ref></blockquote>		[[Neil]] explained the song's lyrics in the album's text commentary:<blockquote>"The narrator has a deep jealousy of birdkind's ability to fly.

			==Lyrics==
			Saw him in a book of fossils
			Dancing with some old Apostles.
			I think if I went back in time,
			He’d be there, alive.
			Root of all my jealousy.

			Grounded in my devastation,
			I can’t get no aviation.
			Up in the sky, his grandchildren fly.
			I don’t sing, I sigh.

			Tell the Archaeopteryx
			That I never wanted this
			Featherhead metropolis.
			Liar liar, wings on fire.

			When it’s fast approaching winter
			And I eat my turkey dinner,
			Tickles of hate, they rattle my cage
			And evolve to rage.
			This is when I make a choice.

			I will build a time contraption.
			I will start a chain reaction.
			Know what I think I’m going to do?
			I am going to…

			Tell the Archaeopteryx
			That I never wanted this
			Featherhead metropolis.
			Liar liar, wings on fire.

			Now the clock ticks,
			And I hope this will fix
			All the present bird tricks.
			Farewell, Mr. Archaeopteryx.

			Tell the Archaeopteryx
			That I never wanted this
			Featherhead metropolis.
			Liar liar, wings on fire.
