Poets are the world's unacknowledged legislators
Humorists, a lesser somehow greater
Ironists, riddle me this
What's hardest to do, easiest to dismiss
Warning (x3)
I may contain traces of nut
To capture the world in a couplet is a gift sublime
Try making it funny, at the same time
It's a higher art but the way to disguise it
Guarantees everyone will patronize it
Warning (x3)
Yeah any sh**head can throw mud against the wall
All sound and fury, signifying f**all
Sit back in feted insouciance
While the listener makes patterns in their pretty mess
I blame Bob Dylan, he wrote the book
Let a cavalcade of charlatans off the hook
Got something to say, they've got you worked out
Got nothing to say, your genius is never in doubt
Warning...
