[Verse]
When you're playing with fire
Heed the warning
'Cause soon you're gonna go extinct
Living a lie
And you don't know the consequences
Of taking life for granted now

[Refrain]
And you don't wanna get left behind
'Cause that's the way of the dodo
('Cause that's the way of the dodo)

And you don't wanna get left behind
'Cause it's the way of the dodo
('Cause that's the way of the dodo)

[Pre-Chorus]
('Cause that's the way of the dodo)
('Cause that's the way of the dodo)
Relieve us of everything
Relieve us of misery

[Chorus]
There's blood in the water
There's liberty in her eyes
"There's no need to weep," she cries aloud
It's just the way of the dodo
Death is sweeter than a poisoned memory
Wouldn't care if they didn't remember me
(Oh-oh-oh, oh)
That's just the way of the dodo
[Refrain]
('Cause that's the way of the dodo)

[Bridge]
Build a fire
Burn the rest
And leave the children
To destroy the nest

Build a fire
Burn the rest
And leave the children
('Cause that's the way of the dodo)

[Chorus]
There's blood in the water
There's liberty in her eyes
"There's no need to weep," she cries aloud
It's just the way of the dodo
Death is sweeter than a poisoned memory
Wouldn't care if they didn't remember me
(Oh-oh-oh, oh)
That's just the way of the dodo

[Outro]
(Dodo)
