jason orbaum - smart lyrics

smart lyrics
[verse 1]
there was a time before
a little after the war
when the finest minds
would have the deepest war
we would celebrate
the things they told us to hate
and there were many things to keep us smart
they closed the libraries
and gave us cable tv
they gave us people who know nothing, the celebrities
they gave us sugary food
drugs to regulate our mood
and they took all the things that make us smart

[bridge]
keep me out of the stupid
keep me out of the dark
sell me into enlightenment
let me disembark

[verse 2]
just give us stephen hawking
give us aaron sorkin
give us dolly parton singing
david attenborough talking
give us allen moore
give us radio 4
just give us anything that keeps us smart
[verse 3]
give us the hitchhiker’s guide
give us stephen fry
give us everybody else involved in making q.i
give us the v&a
give us ai weiwei
give us everything that makes us smart

[bridge]
leave me out of your tweeting
leave me out of your trends
sell me into the sanity
of my family and friends

[verse 4]
give us novels to forage
harri seldon’s knowledge
give us lyra when she’s setting off from jordon college
give us gorky park
give us officer clark
give us anything that keeps us smart

[verse 5]
give us slaughterhouse+five
tarantino’s vibes
give us londonderry, gormenghast, and under his eye
give us vernon shaw
give us michael moore
give us everything that keeps us smart
+break+

[verse 6]
give us [?] in ways we never dreamt of before
a college of enlightenment and music and more
lead us deep into temptation through that beautiful door
give us anything to keeps us smart

[verse 7]
give us oranges and cookware
give us twenty+two catches
give us morrison, milligan and [?]
give us sylvia plath
give us tolstoy and kafka
and anything that keeps us smart

[verse 8]
give us rinehart’s dice
winterfell’s ice
give me frank sinatra singing
that they named it twice
give us frodo’s journey
give us bert and ernie
give us anything to keeps us smart

[bridge]
so i guess in conclusion
we’re expecting confusion
and an evergrowing incidence of self+delusion
so we’ll all complain
inside our echo chambers
and there’s nothing left to keep us smart
[outro]
just give me stephen hawking
give me aaron sorkin
dolly parton singing
give me david attenborough talking
give us allen moore
give us radio 4
give us anything that keeps us smart
