Lyrics

I kinda envy my dog
She's got a lump on her back
But she doesn't know she's sick
That's a pretty neat trick
When I suffer with a sore throat
I must be fixin' to die
I just know its gonna kill me
Cuz i can think like you and we have
Consciousness
A little consciousness goes a long way
But right now my brains a mess
From the blessing and curse of consciousness

When the penguins come home to breed
It's an instinctual life they lead
They're not worried 'bout a diamond ring
Relationship talk isn't their thing
I always fear I'm not worthy
Not romantic enough
But then my wife tells me she loves me
And it feels so good, cuz we have consciousness
A little consciousness goes a long way
But right now my brains a mess
From the blessing and curse of consciousness

Solo
Bridge

We got a bully in the house next store
He's kinda twisted and mean
He's tryin' to wreck the scenery
So I had to remind him that we have consciousness
A little consciousness goes a long way
I've got plenty of ways to stress
With the blessing and curse of consciousness

Yeah we have consciousness
A little consciousness goes a long way
That's what I think when I start to obsess
It's the blessing and curse of consciousness

And when my son beats me again at chess
Here comes the curse of consciousness
