Stood Up

When I found we could have some brains I was the first in line, cause we were, like Dragging our knuckles along the ground Ever since, I've been convinced that every Sacred thought is mine, and you were still Dragging your knuckles along the ground I think I'm there, dude (don't get ahead of yourself) I think I'm there, dude Already there And when they asked us who will lead I thought it surely must be me But I stood up too fast Because as soon as I was boss The next one in line took my head clean off Cause I stood up too fast I was barely in my teens when I decided I was tired Of always like dragging my knuckles along the ground So with all due haste I based until I got so freakin wired Forgot I was dragging my knuckles along the ground I thought I was there, dude (you got ahead of yourself) I thought I was there, dude Already there And when they asked for volunteers I must have thought they said 'drink beers' And I stood up too fast I can imagine things that can't possibly exist And then I add them to an ever-expanding list And when I've solved every significant test there is I'll just move on no matter how many clues I've missed Its easy to be smart but it's a struggle to be wise You shouldn't be always throwing your weight around It's much better to be humble than to have a big hat size Or you'll be just begging somebody to take you down And you'll be nowhere, man (you got ahead of yourself) And you'll be nowhere, man Already there And right before your very eyes I have ignored my own advice Cause I stood up too fast And nobody has the slightest choice But to put up with my droning voice When I stood up too fast
