Kierkegaard, the father of existentialism, said that if you make yourself ignorant to the futility of attempting the impossible, anything is possible. That’s the message embedded in “Stupidity Tries,” Figure 8’s spiritual anchor. “I realize that there’s no real point to me doing what I’m doing,” say...
[Verse 1]
Got a foot in the door
God knows what for
And he'll cut me down to size
Stupidity tries
Everything here is free
Everything but you and me
This painting never dries
Stupidity tries
[Chorus 1]
Savannah shoulder raised a cheer
Coloring the sky with ash
Because they found some privateer
To sail across the sea of trash
[Verse 2]
The enemy is within
Don't confuse me with him
The truth is otherwise
Stupidity tries
[Chorus 2]
And so I go from floor to floor
Looking for a port of call
Another drunk conquistador
Conquering the governor's ball
[Verse 3]
I couldn't think of a thing
That I hope tomorrow brings
Oh, what a surprise
Stupidity tries
