Lyrics
You always made top marks in every class
That's why your crazy ramblings got a pass
Your teacher told you "question everything"
And you believed him without questioning
You say you know nothing, thinking it makes you wise
The Greek days are over, haven't you realized?
Half genius, putting up fronts we see right through
Can't fathom why we don't like you
Tell me have you ever tried to?
Your brain is filled with facts from here to there
But you can't tell me why I'm supposed to care
You say it's lonely at the bell curve's end
Well if you're there why can't you find a friend?
Don't think for a moment you've earned that knowing smile
You've taken the first step, now comes the thousand miles
Half genius, putting up fronts we see right through
Can't fathom why we don't like you
Tell me have you ever tried to?
You've got a podcast 'bout the things you hate
Like corporations, unions and the state
You say that someone needs to fix them up
But that's not you cause they're all too corrupt
You claim independence but still they turn the screw
You best pick your poison or else it's gonna pick you
Half genius, putting up fronts we see right through
Can't fathom why we don't like you
Tell me have you ever tried to?
Half genius, I'll run a math problem by you
Take what they call genius IQ
Then divide that number by two
