Parrot Says What? Songtext
von Racoon

Like a brick wall to my face, the morning fell
And I tried to get out of bed as best as I could
I drank my coffee hot and I don′t like it hot
I burnt my face and lost the taste
And I do that a lot

My kids are breaking my balls, while I hang out to dry
And my hangover ain't helping me much
I′m just numbing my time
I'm willing to try, to remember the whys, but memories, well they fuck me as they fly on by

They do you know

And the parrot says what? Parrot says what?
Exactly man, that's what a parrot does
What a parrot does? What a parrot does

And then the parrot says what? Parrot says what?
Exactly man, that′s what a parrot does
What a parrot does? What a parrot does


Like puberty and magazines
From growing pains, to insanity, yeah insanity and beyond
They say old friends they will never die
They′re like memories
And I told you about my memories, now didn't I

You better
Shoot ′em all down on a happy family album
Shoot 'em all down for me
Shoot ′em all down, so I can keep 'em like they, keep ′em like they used to be

And then the parrot says what? Parrot says what?
Exactly man, that's what the parrot does
That's what the parrot does? That′s what the parrot does

Oh well the parrot says what? Parrot says what?
Exactly man, that′s what a parrot does
That's what the parrot does? That′s what the parrot does

Your first moustache and DVDs
Your pubic hair and then the little bees
A safe haven, no identity
We're all the same and then you disagree
The way you throw words back at me
Oh, you′re oh so clever and so naïve
You can yell all you like but I will never leave


The parent says what? The parent says what?
Yeah exactly man, that's what the parent does
It′s what a parent does? Yeah what the parent does
Oh man the parent says what? The parent says what?
Yeah exactly man, that's what the parent does
It's what a parent does? That′s what the parent does, he won′t leave

Oh the parent says what? Yeah the parent says what
Exactly man, that's what the parent does, he will never ever leave, that′s what, that's what
The parent says what yeah the parent says what
The parent says I will never leave you, even if you hate my guts, hate my guts

Shoot ′em all down on a happy family album
Shoot it all down for me
Shoot 'em all down, so we can keep ′em like they, keep 'em like they used to be

Shoot 'em all down on this happy family album
Keep it in line for me
Yeah raising kids is just a game, but what do I know, what do I know
What do I know
Practice is my middle name
