Measuring Cups

Put your backpack on your shoulder
Get out your measuring cups
Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed
When the tales of brothers
We'll give you a complex and we'll give it a name
Measuring cups, play a new game

Give you a complex and we'll give it a name, no no
Be the good little soldier
And we'll play a new game
When you talk about the hand of glory
And we'll measure your brain
'Cause we're all predisposed
A tale that's rather grim and gory

Liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain
Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed
When you talk about the hand of glory
Take your places now
Be the good little soldier
Front of the class, measure your brain
It's no different when you're older
Can't have the cream

When the crop and the cream are the same
Put your backpack on your shoulder

I think they're gonna make you start over
A tale that's rather grim and gory

Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed?
Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed?
When the tales of brothers
Come to the front of the class
You're predisposed
You don't want to start over
