lyrics

Lyrics:

When I'm on social media which I do overuse,
The brainy comments that I leave there just tend to confuse
Most people never comment back, my genius goes unheeded
It's almost like they're tellin' me my genius is unneeded

The Simpletons who read my posts must find them too profound
My complexities give them brain freeze when I start to expound
I'd like to be more understood by those out of their depth
But even I'm in trouble now, 'cause nothin' rhymes with "depth"

My words aren't meant for empty heads all filled with empty gasses,
Like Meryl Streep I'm just too deep . . . too deep for the masses.
(God I'm in too deep!)

- - -

It used to be religion that kept them deaf and dumb
And then the television made them comfortably numb
And then the dial-up modem from the later 1980's
Then straight from Hell came A-O-L (you've got mail!) from Hades

Then texting on your flip phone while you're driving to a wreck,
Then bowing at the smartphone altar, givin' you tech neck
Now while you're all hunched over with your worldly senses blind
Regressive evolutionaries takin' it from behind
Now you're sleepin' through your meetings
and your families and your classes
Another app, another nap
Asleep like the masses

Sheepin' like the masses (God I'm in too deep!)

- - -

My worldly possessions would fit inside a bag
I've ditched all those attachments that were such a frickin' drag
I have achieved Nirvana and I'm sorry if I'm gloating
but my soul is so unburdened that it's basically floating.
Enlightenment is so passe, omniscience is old hat
I've solved the cosmic mystery , but I don't care about that
All worldly tribulations, I've left them all behind me
There's only one Transcendence now and that is where you'll find me
My answers flow like lightning
Their answers are molasses
And when you see me on Jeopardy and I am kickin' asses
You will know . . .

(Too Late for the Masses!)
