Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Dumb song lyrics )
SMARTERer
( English translation of  SMARTERER )
Copyright © 2004 - MickTerry.com

I've heard it said the more you learn,
the more you know you don't know.
But how the hell can you even tell
if your brain has never grown.
I've heard it said the wisest man
knows when he should shut his trap.
But that sure leaves out my cousin Steve
'cause he never stops his yap.

    Yes, I'm getting SMARTERER,
    SMARTERER for sure.
    It used to be I didn't know
    the why's and where's, what for.
    With all this education
    my brain is just about full.
    Yes, I'm getting SMARTERER,
    I'm just about a know-it-all.

I've heard it said you'll never learn
all that there ever could be.
But this I know from some time ago:
I've had far too much for me.
I've heard it said Confucius said
a lot in some long-past time.
But when I try to understand I find
I just about sprain my mind.

    CHORUS

        My brain hurts. My brain hurts.
        They say learning never stops.
        My brain hurts. My brain hurts.
        It's really close to the top.

I've heard it said confusion reigns
when reading words you find scary.
So I avoid getting more annoyed
by not using the dictionary.
I've heard it said ... No, that's not right.
I think maybe I forgot.
Because it happened once doesn't make me a dunce.
But I guess it happens a lot.

    CHORUS
