Andrew Bird - Measuring Cups lyrics

get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game

come to the front of the class and we'll measure your brain

we'll give you a complex and we'll give it a name

get out your measuring sticks and we'll play a new game

can't have the cream when the crop and the cream are the same

liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain

so you talk about a hand of glory

a tale that's rather grim and gory

is it just another children's story

that's been de-clawed?

when the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey

have been outlawed

I think they're gonna make you start over you don't want to start over

put your backpack on your shoulder be the good little soldier

take your places now

'cause we're all predisposed

measuring cups play a new game

front of the class measure your brain

give you a complex give it a name

put your backpack on your shoulder

be the good little soldier

it's no different when your older

you're predisposed

that's all for questions now

the case is closed!
