Lyrics:

You've been famous since your birth
And a silent one it was,
Til they told me it was a girl
And everybody gasped

I know how to raise you right
Teach you how to read
And your maths (?) and alphabet
And how to be polite

You've been famous since your birth
And a silent one it was,
Til they told me it was a girl
And everybody said

You and your atlas know it all
Let the corners curl
Cause if you go by night
You'll hit the coast for sure

It's a ruse, it's a laugh
Experts, they'd agree
Listen to the math
Australopithecine,
Rekindle your heart
These hospital machines
Are state of the art

I've put down my middle name
In the back of her book
And signed it just in case
Our walk was over love

Cause I've got one more up my sleeve
Bring it out tonight
Cause if I am the joke
Then you're the punchline

It's a ruse, it's a laugh
Experts, they'd agree
Listen to the math
Australopithecine,
Rekindle your heart
These hospital machines
Are state of the art

But it's the art of the state
That's gonna keep me awake
I need a second opinion
Not a second to waste

[sabbathmcfreely]

this is so beautiful. so beautiful. then again, i'm a hominid paleo-biologist's daughter. i am practically required to love any song that skillfully incorporates the word "australopithecine".

[indycolts4]

I believe the line with the (?) is "do math share toys spell names alphabet" Or something similar to that.

[MrWhyteAvenue]

It sounds like he has food in his mouth when he sings in this song lol

[1995cleary]

this is my favourite album by them.

[MrDragonflamez]

[fmlaxbro43]

say what you want about the lyrics or vocals but their rhythm section can play the fuck out of those instruments!
