The Currency Of Knowledge

It's ok to be smart
And it's ok to do things intellectually
And it's also ok to do things with a gut reaction
And it's also ok to combine the two
And usually the way that the media plays on the fears of the public
Especially in the fifties and sixties
Anybody who had an IQ over 28 let's say
Was probably a threat to the community
Because a person who can think for himself is just liable to realize that commercials don't mean anything
And what they write in the newspaper is wrong and
It's fashionable to disparage people who are smart
And the bad part about that is
A lot of people who were born smart pretend to be dumb so they can have friends
And that's a tragedy
I try to encourage people if they are intelligent
Do not be ashamed of it and go out and do what you're gonna do
And forget about having friends and acting dumb in order to have friends
Because those friends aren't do you any good anyway
And if you know deep down in your heart that you are a dumb kind of person
Don't be ashamed of it
You know, that's the way you are
Have a good time, you're dumb
You can sit in front of the television and drink beer and watch hockey and love it
You have none of the problems of people who know more than you do
Because the more you know the less you like it
So, everybody should be happy with what they got
