lyrics

one of these things is not like the other
you got your head in the clouds both feet in the gutter
youre telling lies im spewin truth
Im standing up inside your tiny canoe

one of these things is not like the other
Youre taking off like a rocket but the engine just sputters
Youre winning medals for sniffing glue,
You think its steak, but its really shoe

You cant get what You want and its never quite like just what You need
so you bite the hand that feeds - now watch you bite it
its either shit or Shinola, you cant tell the difference anyway
watch you build a house on a swamp, watch it sink and then do it again.
You just bought a bridge- You cant return it
its either shit or Shinola, you cant tell the difference anyway
and that is why your shoes dont shine

one of these things is not like the other
you got your head in the clouds both feet in the gutter
im not telling lies im spewin truth
Im standing up inside your tiny canoe

one of these things is not like the other
Youre taking off like a rocket but the engine just sputters
Youre winning medals for sniffing glue,
You think its steak, but its really shoe

You could jump into a pool full of PEZ and come up sucking your thumb
check out your rarest stamp - just watched you mail it
its either shit or Shinola, you cant tell the difference anyway
I watched you scratch you name on a Thurman Munson baseball card
on the day that he died - then watched you fold it
its either shit or Shinola, you cant tell the difference anyway
and that is why your shoes dont shine

one of these things is not like the other
you got your head in the clouds both feet in the gutter
im not telling lies im spewin truth
Im standing up inside your tiny canoe

one of these things is not like the other
Youre taking off like a rocket but the engine just sputters
Youre winning medals for sniffing glue,
You think its steak, but its really shoe

if ignorance is bliss, then you're divine
