Modest Mouse - Buttons To Push The Buttons Lyrics

Modest Mouse Lyrics

"Buttons To Push The Buttons"

Piglet has whiskers but know
It could laugh right off the desk
Laptop computers know it was the fodder
That got them jobs
Featherweight fathers
Know nothing about daughters
And sons be damned

The rest of the buttons are pushing themselves
To an early grave
Partial schemes, pleasure schemes
Business schemes, pleasure swells
We all got jobs
Like our opinions and millions of readers
And they pass, we fall

My fear of growing up is confirmed
When I deal with folks like managers
And the sad minds unwind
When they're digging through thoughts of happiness
I'm the broke heart-breaker [?]
I'm who's giving you thoughts of happiness
