Lyrics Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird

Sic of Elephants

You were right

There was never reason to worry

Money made your eyesight all blurry

Making lists of pacifists

Recalcitrant poses

Can't you see how dangerous

The one you chose is?

Which brings us back to

Might makes right

So we learn from Wars of the Roses

Pain was only fear

Kneading your toes

Making haste to spite your face

To cut off your noses

Convince yourself and others that these

Fish smell like roses

Can't you see how dangerous?

When you're too content to make a fuss

Can't you see how dangerous?

Squint your eyes and see

Elephants, sycophants, elephants

Squint your ears and hear red-faced rants

Pleated pants

Sycophants

That's what you are

Can't you see how dangerous?

When you're too content to make a fuss
