Measuring Cups - Andrew Bird

Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game 
Come to the front of the class and we'll measure your brain 
We'll give you a complex and we'll give it a name 

Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game 
Can't have the cream when the crop and the cream are the same 
Liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain 

When you talk about the hand of glory 
A tale that's rather grim and gory 
Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed? 
When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed 

I think they're gonna make you start over 
You don't want to start over 
Put your backpack on your shoulder 
Be the good little soldier 
Take your places now 
'Cause we're all predisposed 

Measuring cups, play a new game 
Front of the class, measure your brain 
Give you a complex and we'll give it a name 

When you talk about the hand of glory 
A tale that's rather grim and gory 
Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed? 
When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed 

Put your backpack on your shoulder 
Be the good little soldier 
It's no different when your older 
You're predisposed 
That's all for questions now 
The case is closed!
