A Certain Type Of Genius Lyrics - Singles - Say Anything

there is a certain type of genius 

who is proud to know so much 

he skipped a thousand showers 

cause he doesn't need to touch 

he hides his bastard faces 

behind thick panes of glass 

they're all that seperates him 

from the apish lower class 

and the stench of love keeps sneaking up his nose 

through all the snot his sinuses can hold 

believing all the lies that he's been told 

grows old, so old 

a friday night alone with friends 

he's got but one or two 

they're geniuses like him, you see 

nothing like all of you 

they banter and they languish 

with all ostentatious plea 

they're all so trendy and which 

they're underground machines 

and he wont be there when jesus comes around 

he'll write a book on what his studies found 

and deep inside he'll learn to fear the sound 

of hope, of hope 

he says why should i even try 

i will let the oil soak in my face 

until the pimples shine 

like tiny mountains set in place 

this lonely valley, mine 

between the hills of opulence 

they grow with strength and time 

scarlet clusters spring from skin 

to hide my missing spots 

and he wont be there when jesus comes around 

he'll write a book on what his studies found 

And deep inside he'll want to hear the sound 

of hope, of hope 

when the world stabs you in the back 

the worst thing you could do 

is become indifferent to 

there is no 'they' 

no idiot brigade 

only a thousand yous 

equally as bruised
