Songtext von Wisdom

One man's playing piano and one man's drooling on the floor And one man's making missiles 'cause he wants to prevent a world war One man's disadvantaged just because his skin is black And one man's children starve to death but not the idiot savants No - not the idiot savants No - it can never be the idiot savants One man O.D.'ed on New Year's Eve His dealer too happy to grieve One man killed and another held out (the idiot savants) Stupid wisdom is what this world's about. We're so wise -so knowing -so understanding The questions of life are so undemanding So we grope and we hope that we'll find an answer I must be an idiot or just one hell of a dancer This one sings like an angel but she can't tie her shoes But this one likes everybody -he just can't stand to hear the news So what if my cousin's on the street There's someone there to help him This one don't wanna take care of the other two (the idiot savant) 'cause he's thinking of things he'd rather do One man O.D.'ed on New Year's Eve His dealer too happy to grieve One man killed and another held out (the idiot savants) Stupid wisdom is what this world's about This guy can't even write his name That lady thinks she's going insane This time I'll find another home Not so heavy 'cause I'd rather be alone...
