Andrew Bird Measuring Cups Lyrics

Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game,
Come to the front of the class 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 glass 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 class, measure your brain,
Give you a complex and we'll give it a name.

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 your older,
You're predisposed.
That's all for questions now
The case is closed!
