The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met Ferdinand de Saussure On a night like this On love, he said, "I'm not so sure I even know what it is No understanding, no closure It is a nemesis You can't use a bulldozer To study orchids", he said, "So [Chorus] We don't know anything You don't know anything I don't know anything About love And we are nothing You are nothing I am nothing Without love" [Verse 2] I'm just a great composer (clap, clap, clap) And not a violent man But I lost my composure And I shot Ferdinand Crying, "It's well and kosher To say you don't understand But this is for Holland-Dozier-Holland" His last words were: [Chorus] "We don't know anything You don't know anything I don't know anything About love And we are nothing You are nothing I am nothing Without love" His fading words were [Chorus] "We don't know anything You don't know anything I don't know anything About love And we are nothing You are nothing I am nothing Without love"
