If so much knowledge sets the people free Then tell me why I was so happy Before Before you got to my head With every word you say to me You tear my whole world to shreds.

When I was happy you said I was dumb Just a stupid kid sucking his thumb Well tell me What means more to you A happy man or One more desperate man like you

I can learn about the world from a metal chair Or I can pick up my feet and take a walk out there What you want? I'll be a fat lazy man You made me lazy already When I'm not working your plan

Yet every day I sit right down Raise my hand and go to town I'm a fool You told me loud and clear But there's nothing you can do about that Cause I'm a little weird.
