No Jazz

At close proximity, we fire mortar rounds of intellect
Our spheres of influence are drowning in the subtext
A spontaneity despite your education
A new simplicity free from intimidation
You are the specialist and I'm the antonym
You don't need a PhD to see the state I'm in

No jazz, no jazz
No jazz, no jazz tonight
No jazz, no jazz
No jazz, no jazz tonight

Better, better, better, you had better beware of accidental suicide
Your formal musical education has become your Frankenstein
Devices second-guess the impulse intuition
Dazed and lost needlessly; it kills the secret mission
Disguised as some efficiency, they fought for the technology
But even machines can't tolerate serving society

No jazz, no jazz
No jazz, no jazz tonight
No jazz, no jazz
No jazz, no jazz tonight

And I just don't get it, thick as I am deep
Living large in a little pond, the city's dead asleep
Learning notes and parts and chords I've been thrust upon
Oh God, it's so very, not what I want

No jazz, no jazz
No jazz, no jazz tonight
No jazz, no jazz
No jazz, no jazz tonight
