"They'll Soon Discover" lyrics - THE SHINS

When you were young and wise
Scratching your letters in the sand.
When your imagination led you all around by the hand.
La la la la

Did you ever wonder what dizzy adventures there might be
Unfolding in the currents under the waves at the bottom of the sea?

Well he's odd but he's got a lot of vision,
His bucked teeth and cock-eyed smile

Can't stop this invertebrate on a mission,
He's in charge!

A sinister design, a wild goose chase for a crown
With your eyes aligned, before they tear apart your town
If you want to win or save all of your kin in the ocean

Stay your ground, don't be discouraged,
Don't let 'em turn our brains into porridge

You're odd but you've got a lot of vision,
Your buck teeth and stalwart heart

Can't stop this invertebrate on a mission,
He's in charge!

But it's a long, hard fight
The corner turns and it's always another mile

People think day and night
They think they got your number,
But they'll soon discover!
