Song Description

From the November 2009 album Brother Bird

Lyrics

I don't want a smooshy brain, you don't want a smooshy brain
Listen to what I'm sayin, we don't want smooshy brains
Turn off the TV, read a book, don't eat fast food, learn to cook
We don't want smooshy brains

I don't want a smooshy brain, you don't want a smooshy brain
Turn off the computer games, we don't want smooshy brains
Don't sit inside in the dark, sunshine gives the mind a spark
We don't want smooshy brains

Weather can turn foggy, cereal can turn soggy
The brain gets smooshy too, if you don't give it things to do

Playing the guitar or the melodica like my friend here, or any instrument
can make your brain work better
There - I feel smarter already

Yeah, I've heard you really oughta
feed your brain good food and water
And the night before that big math test
Your mind needs plenty of rest

I don't want a smooshy brain, you don't want a smooshy brain
Listen up - you're mind is sayin, don't wanna be a smooshy brain
Don't pack it away, just cause school's done for the day
We don't want smooshy brains
Movie zombies are fun, but don't turn into a real one
We don't want smooshy brains
