lyrics

Those Who Preach

A head of cabbage would know
More than yours does to be so
You always call me on the phone
And say I think just like a stone
But one thing that I know for sure
Those who preach are insecure

You know a lot, but about who?
Certainly not much about you

The sun is blue, or so you say
The river ran uphill today
The snow falls up, the trees grow down
According to your cap and gown
The Brooklyn Bridge is not for sale
You tried to tell me but you failed

You know a lot that I see through
Certainly not much that rings true

Copernicus, Leonardo
They would hear you say
I told you so
Oh Socrates and Liebniz
Oh they couldn’t seem
To fathom it

The bottomless and ancient well
Of a knowledge, I can tell
You cherish more than life itself
It can’t be held by no bookshelf
Why are you so hard to endure?
Those who preach are insecure

You know a lot, or so you say
I feel some hot air come my way
