Modest Mouse - Look How Far... Lyrics

Modest Mouse Lyrics

"Look How Far..."

I used to sleep in the branches. I used to slither in the grass.
I can't believe how long I've wanted to be living in the past
You say you're related to ancient kings
Oh! And some czars
Why don't you build a time machine
And show them they've fallen just so far

Look how far we haven't come!
Oh my god we're so fucking dumb!
Look how far we haven't come!
Oh my god we're so stupid dumb!

An object inanimate layered deep in the earth's crust
They pulled me out then they chiseled me into someone else's bust

Look how far we haven't come!
Oh my god we're so fucking dumb!
Look how far we haven't come!
Oh my god we're so fucking dumb!
