Lyrics Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird

Plasticities

This isn't your song

This isn't your music

How can they be wrong

When by committee they choose it all?

They choose it all

You're gonna grow old

You're gonna grow cold

Bearing signs on the avenue

For your own personal Waterloo

You're bearing signs on the avenue

For your own personal Waterloo now

We'll fight, we'll fight

We'll fight for your music halls and dying cities

They'll fight, they'll fight

They'll fight for your neural walls and plasticities

And precious territory

This isn't our song

This isn't even a musical

I think life is too long

To be a whale in a cubicle

Nails under your cuticle

Gonna grow old

You're gonna grow so cold

Before this song can deliver you

You're bearing signs on the avenue

You're bearing signs

For your own personal Waterloo now

We'll fight, we'll fight

We'll fight for your music halls and dying cities

They'll fight, they'll fight

They'll fight for your neural walls and plasticities

And precious territory
