Motto

I SAW A BIRD IN FLIGHT
I PLUCKED THE FEATHERS OFF
I SAW A BIRD IN FLIGHT
I PLUCKED THE FEATHERS OFF
SQUINTED INTO THE LIGHT
AND TOOK A POT SHOT
ONE DOWN, ONE DOWN, ONE DOWN

I SAW WHAT I SAW
SAW WHAT I SAW
DID WHAT I DID
WITH FRIDGE MAGNET PHRASES
IMPRINTED ON MY LIPS

WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER
WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER
WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER
WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER

IF I HAD A MOTTO I WOULD TELL YOU FIRST
“IVE NEVER SUFFERED FROM A LACK OF SENSATION, JUST A TERRIBLE THIRST”
IF I HAD A MOTTO I WOULD SPARE YOU NOW
FROM THE CATCH PHRASE OF A CASH COW

I SAW WHAT I SAW
SAW WHAT I SAW
DID WHAT I DID
WITH PARROT-FASHION PHRASES
EMITTING FROM MY LIPS
FROM MY LIPS
FROM MY LIPS

WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER
WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER
WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER
WITH A MOTTO TO MUTTER

SLOGANEERS, BENDING MY EARS, SLOGANEERS LEND ME MY EARS
