"Educated Idiot" lyrics

"Educated Idiot"

I recognize the pieces but I don't know where they fit
I know exactly just enough to analyze the universe to bits

I know all there is to know about nothing at all
I'm all messed up, nowhere to go
Ask me my address, I can't recall
It's my fault

I'm an educated idiot
I'm smart enough to know I don't know

I know how an engine works; I don't know how to drive
I know where old Zealand is, but barely know my left feet from my right

I recognize the species but I'm not sure if I fit
We know exactly just enough to analyze the universe to bits
I quit

I'm an educated idiot
I'm smart enough to know
An educated idiot
It sure is good to know I'm not alone
