How Does A Duck Know?

Crash Test Dummies · God Shuffled His Feet [1993]

How does a duck know what direction south is?

And how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?

You can cut a chicken's head off

And it will keep on running and twitching



When everything seems planned out

When everything seems nicely planned out

Will the human race come and smack your face



How come all my body parts so nicely fit together?

All my organs doing their jobs, no help from me!

A person pulls a spider's leg out

To watch it keep on moving and twitching



When everything seems planned out

Everything seems nicely planned out

Will the human race, coma and smack your face



Satan lives here: on grain and earth, rain and air

How come I just smoke and smoke and smoke and curse every butt I spit out?

All night long I grind my teeth and I wake up when I cough

You can put me in an iron lung

And I will keep on breathing and twitching



When everything seems planned out

Everything seems nicely planned out

Will the human race, come and smack your face



You might be dead, they'll kick your head
