PRIMUS LYRICS - Year Of The Parrot

"Year Of The Parrot"



In the year of our Lord

Call it 1994

A fine vintage of mimicry



There are those that take their sound

From someone else's Toil

Liking to parrots you see



I've seen the likes of Kate Bush

And Van Morrison

Teaching the parrots to sing



Take a Zepplin riff

And you alter it a bit

And make lots of money

It's called plagiarism



You want some of that cheese

Just take a big ol' bite

Careful not to choke on it please



Now here we go

It's called plagiarism
