Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire - Beware lyrics

Step right on up, take a good good look At the latest pie that fate could cook This is no phenom, so supermarket guru Just a revelation from me to you So don't believe a thing that you might hear At least from the last 30 - 40 years Cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero We had no concept of zero So beware, children beware, the devil may care Six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders Never with a thought to dare So take aim, children take aim The drill sargeant sang With ample perspiration ordered Stop your respiration And end the flow of oxygen to the brain So wake up sleepyheads, listen what I have to say As you near your independence day Just keep in mind, in time your find so few So few have your best interrests in mind So don't believe a thing you might hear At least from the last 3 - 4,000 years 'cause is wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero We had no concept of zero So beware, children beware The devil may care... And maybe he's the only one
