"Ostrich Song" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

Politics make it so hard for us
This war's between two men and four million puppy dogs
Running everywhere for a golden glaze bone
They don't know it yet but we both know they're coming between us

[Chorus:]
I'm no ostrich
I'm no ostrich
But I can bury
My head in the sand just as fast as the next man

They say that our strengths should have been growing over time
I keep trying to pull the elastic back but we both know it has snapped
Your eyes are closing on our final night
Sad things you're gonna live with
Living in those lines

[Chorus:]
I'm no ostrich
I'm no ostrich
But I can bury
My head in the sand just as fast as the next man

I'm no ostrich
I'm no ostrich
But I can bury
Yeah, yeah, I'm no ostrich
I'm no ostrich
But I can bury
My head in the sand just as fast as the next man
