[Verse 1]
In this day and age we forget that we’re animals
Any wonder we’re all so alone
Mama, I feel so ashamed, we’re just cannibal
I didn’t make it but the bed is my home
And someone told me
[Chorus]
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song every day of your life?"
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
[Verse 2]
The writing that's there on the wall is eligible
The wrong answer etched on my brain
Venus and Mars are now further apart than they’ve ever been
We better face it, we’re just not the same
Then I remember
[Chorus]
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song every day of your life?"
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
[Verse 3]
Oh what a shame all the trouble we went though for second place
Now they’re selling space on the moon
Speaking in tongues we don’t know what’s been said till the morning comes
You better worry, there’s a storm coming soon
Still recalling
[Chorus x2]
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song every day of your life?"
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
In this day and age we forget that we’re animals
Any wonder we’re all so alone
Mama, I feel so ashamed, we’re just cannibal
I didn’t make it but the bed is my home
And someone told me
[Chorus]
The dog said to the bird
"Do you sing the same song every day of your life?"
But she don’t say a word
She just swings on her thing and she sings
[Verse 2]
The writing that's there on the wall is eligible
The wrong answer etched on my brain
Venus and Mars are now further apart than they’ve ever been
We better face it, we’re just not the same

"Do you sing the same song every day of your life?"
