Lyrics
the purpose of the door
is to keep the cold air out
the purpose of the fly
is breakfast for the trout
Chorus:
and the purpose of your words is what?
and the purpose of your words is what?
and the purpose of your words is what?
the purpose of the riser
is to elevate the choir
the purpose of the hydrant
is to help put out the fire
if you only knew
how much toxic residue
is in the words that you spew
would you try something new?
the purpose of the knife
is to cut apart and slice
the purpose of this song
is to offer some advice
is to keep the cold air out
the purpose of the fly
is breakfast for the trout
Chorus:
and the purpose of your words is what?
and the purpose of your words is what?
and the purpose of your words is what?
the purpose of the riser
is to elevate the choir
the purpose of the hydrant
is to help put out the fire
if you only knew
how much toxic residue
is in the words that you spew
would you try something new?
the purpose of the knife
is to cut apart and slice
the purpose of this song
is to offer some advice
