consider this...
the smartest person I know
was worried that they don’t fit in
when everyone’s running this way
they’re always running that way.
the smartest person I know
was worried about their career
their work was once important
now it’s empty and redundant
and when they mentioned something ‘bout a fifth wheel...
I told the smartest person I know
“big wheels turn real slow
when you finally get a bone to throw
there’s no dog around to catch it.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
you’re awkward because you’re normal
you’re worthlessly over-qualified
and hopelessly hopeful.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right,
you’re the smartest person I know,
that’s why you feel like fifth wheel...”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
isn’t that most inspiring?
really such a comfort
useful and encouraging.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
and the smartest person you know
also probably feel like a fifth wheel...”
the smartest person I know
was worried about their lover
“we were both going this way
now we’re both going that way.”
the smartest person I know
asked if anybody else was sick of living
with the end just around the corner
under the boom that never comes.
and again they mentioned something ‘bout a fifth wheel...
“the trouble with you is you’re right
you’ve got values so you’re immoral
you struggle ‘cause you work too hard
not cool ‘cause you’re too real.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
like this other person I know who says
I’M the smartest person they know
and be glad that I feel like a fifth wheel...”
tell me, say it again
how things are getting better
i’ll pretend to believe it
as long as this foot’s on my neck
now what’s being taken away?
what else am I giving up?
choked on illusion and myth
I believed in pistons
trusted malls and movies
that’s how the bait and the hook
plays one against the other
playing games with my bread and butter
how do you like you new house?
how do you like your new car?
you say you never got ‘em?
no kidding...me neither.
what do you think of that new car?
what do you think of those new clothes?
come on, tell me, no one’s listening
how you thought there’d always be plenty
of bread and butter
held back, biting my tongue
with great expectations
I learned your language
now I know how to curse
threats that keep me in line
lie or lose my bread and butter
can’t drug or dance it away
can’t get away from it all
guess what? I’m “it”.
as the world winds down
and I slam into limits
frozen in and frozen out of my
bread and butter
jealousy, jealousy
got a dream for a dream
out of tin cans and string
build it, build it
but I need a few things
step up to the counter
hand the man a sheet
“everything’s on back order.
already obsolete.
but we got...
I could rule the world
if I could only get the parts
it’s a beautiful idea
it’ll be a first
a thousand and one uses
and easy on the purse
army surplus army
bits of this, bits of that
string balls, string balls
scrap pack rat
the concept is so simple
ahead of it’s time
but what I need they don’t make
and what I want is too hard to find...
but you got...
square pegs, square pegs
square, square pegs
always never quite right...
i’d like it if they liked us, but I don’t think they like us...
so tell me where’s the party, and how come we weren’t invited?
one size does not fit all.
don’t wanna wear my glasses, I have to wear my glasses...
why are we wearing this year what they were wearing last year?
yeah...i’d be cuter without gum in my braces...
I hope the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts...
she said that she was
but we know she isn’t
and she said that she would
but he hasn’t asked her.
he did...and we know it
but with whom
we can't guess it...
and they think that we’re the....
square pegs, square pegs
square, square pegs
really funny...who broke the “pi” button on my calculator?
may you be eternally grounded...
me?...get juiced with The Cool Patrol?
uh...no thanks...why do you think they call it beer?
I mean...listen to him!
(sax solo)
square pegs, square pegs
square, square pegs
ya know...our school colors should be black and blue...
yeah...i mean no...huh?...what?
no...i don’t think I have a bad attitude...why?
suspended?...suspended for what?
but they told me it was Senior Wig Day!
honest...i don’t even know how those worms got there...
now...what would I do with 200 peanut butter cups?
one size does not fit all
