STORE BOUGHT - STORE THOUGHT

The Flock


Store bought, store thought
Trinkets of dreams, we'll make
an attempt
To build the toy guns just like
the ones
That daddy used in the war.

Store bought, store thought
All the monkey heads are stuffed
Sawdust brains, ears cotton-muffed
Plastic eyes, just a toy...

Robot, robot arms and legs
Teeth, bones, hair, its all there
Robot, robot arms and legs
Battery's dead, head's dead.
(Mechanical man, mechanical man!)

Store bought, store thought
All the monkey's heads are stuffed
Sawdust brains, ears cotton-muffed
Plastic eyes, just a toy...

Store bought, store thought
Humpty Dumpty sat on his wall
And I'll give you odds of 10-1
Somebody pushed him just for fun.
