I see a white haired man,
he's got a suit on hand
He's telling people how they're supposed to live
Nobody's listening to the politician
No matter what sage advice he has to give

He's got a clumsy, outdated m.o.
And [bad word] to a fork in the road
And there is only one direction to go

Among [bad word]  dwarfed by the skyscrapers
I watch the countless millions fighting for space
See hateful, petty acts, disjointed images,
And can't believe that i'm one of the same race

We're all just [bad word] to cope
And [bad word] to a fork in the road
As we watch our foundations erode
There's only one direction to go

It's the way of the dodo
Such a noble destiny
It's the waltz of desperation
Passed along to you and me
The way of the dodo

We're all just [bad word] to cope
And [bad word] to a fork in the road
As we watch our foundations erode
There's only one direction to go

It's the way of the dodo
It's the gray stuff in your head
it's the pulse of the living
And the voices of the dead

It's the way of the dodo
Such a noble destiny
It's the waltz of desperation
Passed along to you and me
The way of the dodo
