[Verse 1: Josh Woodward]
There's only 12 notes on the music staff
But 3 chords and the truth is all you really need
There's only 26 letters in the alphabet
But no one really cares about the ones like Q and Z
You mix them all together in a soup of creativity
And add some salt and grab a spoon to taste
No matter if you improvised, you're so close to the recipe
The soup is yours, no one can take your pot away

[Chorus: Josh Woodward]
Everything is borrowed, nothing's really new
Everything's assembled from duct tape and glue
We're all a patchwork piece of art
Greater as a whole than the sum of our parts
(Oh, oh oh x3)

[Verse 2: Josh Woodward]
Some chords sound nice together, that is why we choose 'em
And some chords sound really bad so we don't really use 'em
If we had to pay the royalties for every G and C and D
There'd be a caveman with a lambo for every day of every week
No one owns the words we speak, we built them all together
We took the little pieces and we slowly made them better
It's okay to innovate but don't you feel too jaded
When somebody tells you the Simpson already have made it (Oh)
[Chorus: Josh Woodward]
Everything is borrowed, nothing's really new
Everything's assembled from duct tape and glue
We're all a patchwork piece of art
Greater as a whole than the sum of our parts
(Oh, oh oh x3)

[Verse 3: Josh Woodward]
Dig up bones and find an angel hiding in the ground (Simpsons did it!)
Buy a truck and make sure that the streets are always plowed (Simpsons did it!)
Go and sing some barber shop and be a one-hit wonder (Simpsons did it!)
Build a giant dome to hide the nasty city under (Simpsons did it!)
A clown girl from prison who wants to murder little boys (Simpsons did it!)
An old man in a panic from some plastic army toys (Simpsons did it!)
Donald Trump is president and everything explodes (Simpsons did it!)
I don't wanna watch this anymore

[Chorus]
Everything is borrowed, nothing's really new
Everything's assembled from duct tape and glue
We're all a patchwork piece of art
Greater as a whole than the sum of our parts
(Oh, oh oh x3)

(Oh, oh oh x3)
