Lyrics

I don’t understand you, so I know you’re brilliant
I want to learn, but ignorance is resilient
You have read and written many a book
You lead to green pastures with your shepherd’s crook
Your academic degrees and accolades are legion
Your Nobel prizes glamorize in every region
You appear many times on TV
You explain every antinomy mystery
Foolishness or genius? Let’s meet in the middle
For liberty you need slavery, well, just a little
You’re in love with knowledge, struck by cupid
Why does everything you say sound stupid?

Oh, your majesty, please enlighten me

Something smells fishy, maybe it’s just me
For I’m a simple man with no PhD
Explain again why that’s not your underwear
How in the right light a circle is square
How borrowing is wealth, how death is health
How war begets peace, when the killing is stealth
A is non-A, the symptom is the disease
Wish I’d comprehend, but reason’s a tease
Sometimes I feel like everyone else understands something
That I just don’t get
But please be patient, your genius is uncommon
I haven’t lost all my common sense yet

When tragedy strikes, to the scene make all haste
Never let a good crisis go to waste
It doesn’t matter what you say, it just matters how you sound
It doesn’t matter how you sound unless others are around

You have discovered uncaused effects
Before there are trains, and after there are wrecks
I used to think 1 and 1 was 2
Then you did an experiment and found it wasn’t true
