Oysters (Noa Music - 2005) Smarter

The man was lying thru his teeth
While we listened blindly at his feet
I know we wish that we could be
Just a little bit smarter

He said he was a friend of a friend
Well he said it over and over again
I know we wish that we could be
Just a little bit smarter

Well I put two fingers in his nose
To squeeze out the truth and open the doors
I know we wish that we could be
Just a little bit smarter

Come down here, water my flower bed
Give me food for thought, feed me oysters
What’s between my ears doesn’t fill up my head
Give me time to think about being a little smarter

We swallowed his words and gave up the dollars
Now we’re stuck with the leash and the second-hand collar
I know we wish that we could be
Just a little bit smarter

When the noose tightens ‘round our throat
We don’t say a word, we don’t dare choke
I know we wish that we could be
Just a little bit smarter
