Wisdom is the 5th track off of Vancouver indie rock band Mother Mother’s second album, O My Heart. It describes the narrator’s frustrations with their inattentive nature.
[Verse 1]
Folding my clothes, and I feel useless
Don't think I know how to do this
Once I was told, but like any misfit
I spit on some good advice
[Verse 2]
Out in the cold and tryin' to make fire
Two sticks and stone, still got no fire
Once I was shown, but I was inside then
And spit on that good advice
[Chorus]
Wisdom, wisdom
Where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom
[Verse 3]
On the payroll and digging up ditches
Dollar is low, so are my wages
Once I was told just how to get rich
But I spit on that good advice
[Chorus]
Wisdom, wisdom
Where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
[Bridge]
Wisdom, wisdom
Where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom
I wanna trade my dimwits in for tips
Tips equipped with wisdom, wisdom
[Verse 4]
Take off my clothes, and I feel useless
Don't think I know how to do this
Once I was told, but I like to fidget
And miss out on good advice
