| showed up at the wrong time |
| i’ve been kept outside |
| never could get in at all |
| even when i tried |
| now i seen this whole world cryin' |
| seven days from the start |
| i’m the only son conceived through wisdom |
| and that’s what makes me so goddam smart |
| so goddam smart |
| you ain’t nothing but a liar |
| i hear those words that you spew |
| you are unkind and thoughtless |
| and i’m ashamed of the things that you call the truth |
| but look at me with all of this beauty |
| and my words are spoken from the heart |
| i’m strong and getting stronger |
| that’s what makes me so goddam smart |
| so goddam smart |
| oh here we are |
| from dust to eternity |
| and here we will stay |
| till the truth just lets us be |
| so goddam smart |
| so goddam smart |
| you better keep your distance |
| my old ex-best friend |
| as we lived and died brothers forever |
| our best wishes to you all we’ll send |
| and some days are better than others |
| it seems our actions have torn us apart |
| and the moral is to try to love one another |
| that’s what makes us so goddam smart |
| so goddam smart |
| so goddam smart |
