Ducks Don't Need Satellites Lyrics
Ducks don't need satellites
They probably don't know they're up there
Ducks don't need satellites
They don't need satellites
They most likely think the sky ends blue
No need to think about the black
Give a quack, get a quack quack back
Don't need some mental far away
Telling them the weather for today
So they can say 'How bout it?'
Ducks don't need telephones
Ducks don't need telephones
Perfectly happy to just swim along
Ducks don't need telephones
They don't need answering machines
To know the choice is theirs
And that somebody cares
No need to think about the black
Give a quack get a quack quack back
Even people give them that
Did you ever hear a duck say quack
And say 'hello' back
Ducks don't need satellites
They probably don't know they're up there (and don't care)
Ducks don't need satellites
They don't need satellites
They most likely think the sky ends blue
Don't you wish you did too?
They probably don't know they're up there
Ducks don't need satellites
They don't need satellites
They most likely think the sky ends blue
Give a quack, get a quack quack back
Don't need some mental far away
Telling them the weather for today
So they can say 'How bout it?'
Ducks don't need telephones
Perfectly happy to just swim along
They don't need answering machines
To know the choice is theirs
And that somebody cares
Give a quack get a quack quack back
Even people give them that
Did you ever hear a duck say quack
And say 'hello' back
They probably don't know they're up there (and don't care)
Ducks don't need satellites
They don't need satellites
They most likely think the sky ends blue
Don't you wish you did too?

its pretty random.. ducks dont need sattelites. but shes asking. "if ducks dont need sattelites? then why do we?" and why do we need myspace, mobiles computers.etc. when ducks are already happy.. i think shes talking about that.
I agree with girly577 I think she's also saying that maybe we'd be happier if we knew less and were simpler like ducks ; "They most likely think the sky ends blue Don't you wish you did too?" It's like the world is happy for Ducks but we know about verything beyond the blue sunny sky and it can be quite scary.
i love this song :) i think it is a really simple commentry on how humanities curiosity has created such a complicated existence. its like she saying that we should just stop for a moment and think about how silly it is that we have made life like this... "Don't need some mental far away, Telling them the weather for today So they can say 'How bout it?'". It is a simple yet powerful song with the crescendo to the final chorus sung an octave higher than the others. Its beautiful.
