Lyrics

Now, you see, if you do that
You do at least give yourself a chance
And it may be that when you are, in this way, freed from busy bodies, and being out to improve everything, that your own nature will begin to take care of itself

If we could tell people, if we would have schools, where we would infallibly train musical geniuses, scientific miracle minds, and there would be so many of them
We wouldn't know what to do with 'em, geniuses would be a dime a dozen
Then we would say, "Well, these people are, after all, not very ingenious, you know?"
PhDs, how many of them are there?
Because what is fascinating, always, about genius is
The fellow does something we can't understand
He surprises
