Petty man he fakes an interest in something new A trickle has begun its search for the oceans Which it grew If only there were pride in work that he had done His feeble mind would not be deterred By the fact he was wrong ♪ Disinterested man puts his focus where he should The trickle now would turn into a brook that understood The beginnings of a trait But persistence is a whore Attention is given to the one that will pay her more ♪ Knowledge without a name Indifference is the game In which he is a lord Rivers would run dry and he would not ask why It is none of his concern because he needed not to learn "Everybody else" is key Because there simply could not be a one without a two But everybody else is clean because the water falls between The intellectual and the tool Didn't wash the ever fool ♪ A failing man enjoys his drink, lowering his aim Where he will twist the truth to fit That's where I will remember the shame
