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
