You said, "If I ask you a question
|
Are you going to lie to me?"
|
I said, "Honey, is that your question?
|
'Cause, honey, that one's easy"
|
|
'Cause half the truth is
|
Just how much there is
|
The kids don't get it
|
No, the kids don't get it
|
|
I'm going to be an expert stranger
|
Better than the giant squid
|
I'm going to leave the stranger experts
|
Scratching their heads saying, "How'd he do it?"
|
|
When half the truth is
|
Just how hard it is
|
But the kids don't get it
|
No, the kids won't get it
|
|
I'll be the antlers
|
And I'll be the elk
|
I'll be the right whale
|
And I'll be parallel
|
|
The kids don't get it
|
that's right, the kids don't get it
|
|
I'll feel more than human
|
When the work's hitting home
|
I'll be aped by my ancestors
|
I'll state the plan as my own
|
I'll be gripping the city
|
I'll be hitting the town
|
You'll say, "I'd be hurt if you didn't"
|
When I come around
|
|
Yeah, that's right, the kids don't get it
|
|
I'll be as careless as you are certain
|
I'll get out of my own way
|
I'll stop to cry into the curtains
|
And like the greats before me go on stage
|
|
And if half true it's
|
Good enough for this
|
'Cause the kids don't get it
|
No, the kids don't get it
|
|
If I ask you a question
|
you going to lie to me?
|
Ah, honey, is that your question?
|
'Cause that one's easy
|
|
The kids don't get it
|
Just how hard it is
|
The kids don't get it
|
Just how much there is
|
