Naked Ear

from sugoi! by Tensegrity Nine

/

lyrics

Your naked ear will probably never hear a cellphone vibrate on a blanket and I'm to blind to see stoplights without glare.
We'd be long gone dead as cave people, unable to track deer or stab a fish out of water,
and a rattlesnake hiss might register as a branch blowing in the breeze,
but here we are living and loving it up in the 21st century
where art teachers cut colored construction paper out of rainforests, so kids can make collages of rainforest.

I don't like to yell at kids, but sometimes you just gotta...
Even at a young age, they know the mean face.
They know you ain't playin' when your eyebrows turn in like a boomerang going down, and their ship is going down
and they know there's no yelling in the classroom, but sometimes they just gotta.

I'd like to meet the maker of videogames some time, so I can ask for my attention span back.
But alas, that's like yelling at bad drivers from the comfort of 70mph.
