The Way Of The Dodo

(album: Everything Is Borrowed - 2008)

What, now?
Yep

Everybody doing the dodo
Everybody doing the dodo
Everybody doing the dodo (The dodo)
Everybody doing the dodo
Everybody doing the dodo
Everybody doing
Everyone's gotta do the dodo

It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo
It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo

I can't imagine the day when things have actually faded away
But the day I may not be able to pay my way could be today
It's not that I don't care
Just that I'm way too caught up breathing air
To grieve for the trees and the air or how breathable air is
You go first, I'll follow suit
Make your mistakes I'd probably make
I'm right behind you, but don't expect me to ride like it's a race
'Cause you'll be back there picking scraps
While I'm Mr. Mug, do-gooding around
And I've lost my rank and place
I've got to manage my little space

It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo
It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo

I'm not a stereotypical 'Give you what I want when I want
With a big cherry on it'
Just another brother trying to love my son and mother
Providing for my wife is the vibe I'm on in life
I might well starve, that's what would happen
If I started off this march
It's not my world, but I'm in it to win it
Put it in the bin, if you wish it, listen
Let's all start at the same point
Following rules, equally losing
Tell me if it does, I wish it be true
But never gonna happen, we're not equal
For the kids, let's make the rules
But I saw the film and hated the sequel

It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo
It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo

Everybody do the dodo

You and me are family
Pass the love 'round and back to me
Two and three, that's the feeling
Scramble for the top, for the bottom of the ceiling
Conspiracy theories, we all hear these
We all see the deal, we will seal the deal
If you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
If you don't know where you're going
Then any road will take you there
If you don't know where you're going
Then any road will take you there
We do not know where we're going
Any road

It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo
It's not Earth that's in trouble
It's the people that live on it, no, no
Earth will be here long after
We've all gone the way of the dodo

These are my wings, this is my beak
