Measuring Cups Lyrics

The song Measuring Cups is performed by Andrew Bird in the album named Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs in the year 2005 .

Get out your measuring cups
And we'll play a new game
Come to the front of the cla*s
And we'll measure your brain
We'll give you a complex and we'll give it a name

Get out your measuring cups
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 gla*s will contain

When you talk about the 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 cla*s, measure your brain
Give you a complex and we'll give it a name, no no

When you talk about the 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

Put your backpack on your shoulder
Be the good little soldier
It's no different when you're older
You're predisposed
That's all for questions now the case is closed!
