Banking on a Myth Lyrics

Banking on a Myth- Andrew Bird
This is a fun one especially If you have a loop pedal.. just lay down a beat and overdub
plucking in E minor for an interesting background layer for the main guitar riff Em to
parts
Riff:
There's one guy I'd like to thank he signs the checks and leaves them blank
he's the one
he says you don't have to walk a plank the game is rigged, go figure
slide show tanked
and your flagship sank
so we're taking all our myths to the bank
so just don't, Don??t forget who to thank
we're taking our myths to the
we??re drinking a fifth to the
we're taking all our myths to the bank Oh no
Riff/solo
If you could just do him this favor, although it might involve child labor
join his entourage give him a foot massage
he's the one to know
doesn't matter if you blow ?? no no, no no
in fact it's just the thing
he thinks we're needing
it's a lukewarm liquid diet
they're force feeding
when the words we use have lost their bite
now they hit you like an imaginary pillow fight
but it's all right
cause you're inside and you're in tight
(Fingerpick this part)
deals in commodities of the abstract sort
buys them in bulk but sells them short
talent, genius, love even signs of affection
he floods the market there's no price protection
and when his master plan is unfurled
There stands a handsome bid on the weather systems of the world
