lyrics

My parrot tells them
Things I swear I’ve said
My parrot’s wisdom
Is just something that it read

My parrot treats its friends
Like a focus group
A scared little kid
In a grownup suit
If it weren’t for me my parrot would still be mute

My parrot loves the
Sound of its own voice
My parrot’s content
As long as it’s making noise

When it starts up
It can’t be stopped
Like a pull string doll
With its wires crossed
It’s so precious how it think it calls the shots

Without that routine you stole
You’d be a sitting duck
I taught you everything I know
Except how to shut up

It’s such a strange sensation
Talking to a real imitation

My parrot has a
Mouth that’s bigger than its brain
My parrot swears that
We have the same name

And now my parrot
Has the whole planet convinced
Sometimes even I
Can’t tell the difference
Between me and the monster I created

My parrot
My parrot
