about

{even in the future the Germans still just have one word for both a pigeon and a dove}

lyrics

I can't believe that a pigeon and a dove are the very same bird
if you translate em into german they come out as the same word
Taube, that's the word in German for both a pigeon and a dove
One is a flying rat and one's a symbol for peace and love
One is dumb, one is witty, one's eating crumbs off a curb in a city
one is in a movie looking pretty, it's the same goddamn bird

Well I saw a pigeon the other day and it made me think about you
All the stuff you said to me and the shit you put me through
I can't believe how evil you are, can't believe you could be so mean
I can't believe that you and I can both be human beings
But if a pigeon is a dove and a dove is a pigeon, well then I guess that is that
I can be a good person and you can still be a piece of crap
