Here’s the breakdown
A simple code;
Run for your life
Never waste time

Read the books or pretend you did
Tell me a lie
Faking a high

What is it they know that I don’t get
(What is it they know? What is it they know? What is it they know? What is it? What is it?)
Speaking in a foreign alphabet
I never did I never did
I'd rather sing instead

Everywhere opportunity
Lay of the land
Playing your hand
Competition is evolution
Then, what do I win?

Passing on insufficiency
Is it a gene
Is it the machine

What is it they know that I don’t get
(What is it they know? What is it they know? What is it they know? What is it? What is it?)
Speaking in a foreign alphabet
I never did I never did I never did

What is it they know that I don’t get
(What is it they know? What is it they know? What is it they know? What is it? What is it?)
Speaking in a foreign alphabet
I never did I never did

I'd rather sing instead
I'd rather sing instead
I'd rather sing instead
I'd rather sing instead
