It's unknown how we got here,
told stories we had no reason to doubt.
Some people try to build you up,
with good intentions at the start.
But the truth is the way to go,
not some fantasy bus of destiny.
To break down somewhere lonely,
where you learn what's going on.
everyone looks at you like your...
some kind of a dummkopf.
Like you have been long living,
under the proverbial flat rock.
When actually no one explained,
what you should have known already.
For the pure child might just not know,
living a life of sorrow and poverty.
Maybe that fantasy bus of destiny...
starts looking pretty good as lives go.
For everyone's life will be cut short,
with a list of things to do close by.
Some people say the next life...
is where the real living is found,
and it all starts with a little bit of faith.
Like the faith instilled in your mother,
when first she looked at you with...
the eyes of someone who believed!
Foolproof recipe faux fudge
Who wants to be called
foolish even for starters?
Every dummkopf can read!
Proof is recipe's enunciation!
You are such a dummkopf.
Okay, thanks. No, I mean it.
Thanks.
Do you know what it is?
No.
Do you want to know?
No thanks.
So the instigator tries again.
You are a lunkheaded-lame-brained, stupid wooden head.
Okay.
The instigator’s face is pink and unhappy now.
You are a hammer-headed dunderheaded-moron.
Thanks.
A weird reflection of our world is this,
if you look up the word ‘dummkopf’ there
are eighty synonyms. Any guesses how many
antonyms are listed?
Two.
Brain and genius.
This is a universal flaw,
so is it any wonder some of us are living
in an unhappy world of bullies?
I wish I was a monkey
a-livin' in a tree
Where if I bit your fingers off
Nobody could blame me.
You shouldn't poke at monkeys
Unless you're a dummkopf
Who gets precisely what's deserved,
Your fingers bitten off.
You shouldn't poke at monkeys
unless you're a dummkopf
Who gets precisely what's deserved --
your fingers bitten off.
