lyrics

[THINKING WELL]

Nobody likes a shoddy idea
Except for maybe IKEA
Oh and then there’s
Conspiracy theorists
Who exchange common sense
For their fear, it’s
Not uncommon for
Government agencies
To get bogged down
In Bureaucracy
And extremists from
Both sides of the race
Yell at each other
Till they’re blue in the face
And then there’s those
Who argue against science
Creating something pseudo
In defiance
I guess not everyone
Wants to think
But the benefit of pen and ink
Is that you can champion
Mental clarity
And do some real good
For posterity
So let the work of your mind
Be something that stands
The test of time
And if it's mildly entertaining,
Maybe for years
It will be remaining.
