"Smart Guys" lyrics

Well some guys are just born with IQ's of 610
When you talk to 'em you need a Thesaurus
To understand what's been said
And you finally figure it out
Then you realize they were showing off
Didn't have much to say
The ordinary person just stands there with his hands in his pocket
And watches as the genius walks away

Smart guys, yeah they will make you feel dumb
Smart guys, hey I bet you all know some
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
And they're smarter than I, I am too
Oh, those smart guys

Then sometimes someone will say something
You'll think "Well, how profound"
Then you'll ask 'em about it
Tell you what book they got it from
And where you can get it downtown
Those deep thinkers man they're awful nice Joes
But, I like 'em best, don't talk down to us simple folk
They can be helpful when they shoot it to you straight
But when they confuse you with the metaphors
Hey, it's hard to relate

Smart guys, yeah can make you feel dumb
Smart guys, hey I bet you know some
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
And they're smarter than I, I am too
Oh, those smart guys

Sometimes things are important
And sometimes they're not
And those smart guys can make this world a better place
If we all just give it a little more thought

Smart guys, yeah they can make you feel dumb
Smart guys, hey I bet you know some
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
And they're smarter than I, I am too
Smart guys, yeah they can make you feel dumb
Smart guys, hey I bet you know some
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
And they're smarter than I, I am too
Oh, those smart guys
