Platypus
Take a life atypical
Make it seem extraordinary
We move centripetal
We don't move linearly
But life's all good all in all
Nothing much to write home about so
We take the Sentinal
We won't dance to the status quo
Suit and tie with the socks and sandals
Don't look so quizzical
You know we don't quite fit in
But what's a platypus supposed to do
When it's a feature in a petting zoo
I'm kinda thinking it ain't gonna last
But don't it just make you sad to feel it
I know
I know
We're never gonna be
Anything that they want us to be
Hopeless instead
Cuz we can't pretend
To beat around the bush
With a straight-face effigy
I know
I know
We're never gonna be
Anything that they want us to be
Do what they say
Today
Their way
That way
And never let your mouth speak otherwise
Here to stay vs. the fadeaway
Got a lot left to say but not just
The food left on the dinner plate
The cook's got something up his sleeve cooking
Do not fail to appreciate
The art that still permeates
Why try to fight the gravity
It keeps all of our heads from flying away
I know
I know
We're never gonna be
Anything that they want us to be
Hopeless instead
Cuz we can't pretend
To beat around the bush
With a straight-face effigy
I know
I know
We're never gonna be
Anything that they want us to be
Do what they say
Today
Their way
That way
And never let your mouth speak otherwise
Like a shirt with a stain
(Like a shirt with a stain)
That you can't wash out
(That you can't wash out)
There's no hope for you here
(Why are you still here)
There's no reason to shout
I know
I know
We're never gonna be
Anything that they want us to be
Hopeless instead
Cuz we can't pretend
To beat around the bush
With a straight-face effigy
I know
I know
We're never gonna be
Anything that they want us to be
Do what they say
Today
Their way
That way
And never let your mouth speak otherwise
I know
We're never gonna be
Anything that they want us to be
Do what they say
(You better)
Do what they say
(You better)
Do what they
Do what they
Do what they say
Make it seem extraordinary
We move centripetal
We don't move linearly
But life's all good all in all
Nothing much to write home about so
We take the Sentinal
We won't dance to the status quo
Suit and tie with the socks and sandals
