The Dilettante - Here's a Stick Lyrics

You wake up in the morning,
Scrape a shadow from your face,
You dowse yourself in water,
And you join the human race.
Watch the suds go down the drain,
Take a car, a bus, a tram, a train,
Stare at your phone to numb your brain,
Every day's the same.
Here's a stick to measure yourself,
For height and breadth and breed and health,
Here's a stick to beat yourself,
So beat yourself away, away.
And here's a stick to measure yourself,
For house and spouse and car and wealth,
Here's a stick to beat yourself,
So beat yourself away, away.
And here's a stick to measure yourself,
For speed and deed and anything else,
Here's a stick to beat yourself,
So beat yourself away, away, away.
