I’ve got a medical condition
when you walk into the room
and you can call it superstition
but I’m allergic to you
Because you give me such a headache
with your philosophy degree
and your intellectual weapons
are just boxing gloves to me
That’s right…

Well, no, I’ve never read Kierkegaard
and I’ve never read Max Weber
and I’ve been hoisted by your petard
and you’re feeling pretty clever
and your talking pretty quickly
and using lots of pretty words
and this red wine’s getting sickly
and you’re making me perturbed
That’s right…

A dinner party invitation
I didn’t know what to expect
Is this the Spanish Inquisition
and have you finished it yet?
Because you pull me to pieces
in your intellectual way
but you’re just looking for excuses
for your apathy to stay
That’s right…

You’re using cynicism as protection
You’re using cynicism as protection
You’re using cynicism as protection
You’re using cynicism as protection

It’s looking cowardly to me
You’re looking cowardly to me
You’re looking cowardly to me
You’re just a coward to me
