Song Lyrics

Dad?

Oh, hi, Vanessa!

Dad, what are you doing?

Well I'll be honest I don't really understand
But I fell down this hill and I got glue on my hands
Now I got records on my fingers

What?

Records on my fingers
I got records on my fingers and I just can't stop

Don't stop

I can't stop I got a platypus controlling me

What?

I got a platypus controlling me
Now let me sum it up
It was a strange set of circumstances

Strange set of circumstances?

I fell down the hill, I got glue on my hands now I got records on my fingers
And I just can't stop

Don't stop, don't stop

Well I would if I was able
There's a platypus controlling me he's underneath the table

There's a platypus controlling him? What?

Oh I get it, platypus is a metaphor for whatever is keeping you down

Corporations are a platypus
The government's a platypus
Your teacher is a platypus

My teacher is a panda

Society's a platypus
My parents are a platypus
The media's a platypus
It's all just propaganda
We've all got platypus controlling us

No just me

We've all got platypus controlling us

I'd stop if I was able

We've all got platypus controlling us

I'm not speaking metaphorically
The platypus controlling me is underneath the table
Oh wait, no, he's gone!
Hey! There's no platypus controlling me
There's no platypus controlling me!

(Cheers)
