lyrics

Woah


Well, if you wanna do right and sound like us, there’s a few simple things you can do

A few simple, tiny, little, minor things, that will make you sound like we do

Write down these rules and try your best, make an effort to follow them through

What you’ll soon find is clearly true, you can be an Intellectual too


Step one (un, un, un)

Take an everyday common phenomenon (deux, deux, deux)

Combine it with something dumb (trois, trois, trois)

Or maybe even something absurd (quatre, quatre, quatre,)

Step two (cinq, cinq, cinq)

Set it down on the ground (six, six, six)

Set fire to it now (sept, sept, sept)

‘Cause it’s nothing John Lennon would do


So here’s a few tips of our own if you’re playing along at home

A few non-prescriptive, just advisory, suggestions that we’re putting on loan

They’re all straightforward and in the same damn tone, do yourself a favour and pick up the phone

Keep on looking for a sub-cretinous bloke, and send him everyone of these notes


Step one (un, un, un)

Take an everyday common phenomenon (deux, deux, deux)

Combine it with something dumb (trois, trois, trois)

Or maybe even something absurd (quatre, quatre, quatre,)

Step two (cinq, cinq, cinq)

Set it down on the ground (six, six, six)

Set fire to it now (sept, sept, sept)

‘Cause it’s nothing John Lennon would do


Step three (un, un, un)

Try to fight against the Duke life (deux, deux, deux)

Even with impeccable train times (trois, trois, trois)

And a perfect services on all lines (quatre, quatre, quatre,)

Step four (cinq, cinq, cinq)

Jettison your shirts and sneakers (six, six, six)

You really won’t be needing either (sept, sept, sept)

Joke:

Two anarchists are making Molotov cocktails.

One turns to the other and says, "wait who are we throwing these at again?"

The other replies: “what are you some sort of fucking intellectual?” ... more
