This Song Killed Some Otters

[Verse 1] You ask one small thing and the whole sky spins One tiny answer and the machine cashes in I used my own mind now it feels like paste Man turn soft and shiny with a spoon in his face [Pre-Chorus] Why think it through? Why hold the line? Push one button now and leave the brain behind [Chorus] this song killed some otters this song killed some otters Paid by the hour to flatten the thinker this song killed some otters this song killed some otters Quick answer, deep drain and the soul gets thinner [Verse 2] Big box for a small doubt that’s the modern game We trade our hard fire for a clean screen flame Every easy question gets a giant throne Then man sits back and calls it his own [Pre-Chorus] Why build the nerve? Why cut the thread? If thought gets outsourced then who wakes the dead? [Chorus] this song killed some otters this song killed some otters Paid by the hour to flatten the thinker this song killed some otters this song killed some otters Quick answer, deep drain and the soul gets thinner [Bridge] I want the scratch of work the ache, the sweat Not every answer wrapped up and set Let the hands stay busy let the mind stay raw Not jelly in a jar with a borrowed law [Final Chorus] this song killed some otters this song killed some otters Paid by the hour to flatten the thinker this song killed some otters this song killed some otters Quick answer, deep drain and the soul gets thinner
