there’s got be an inside if there’s an outside. there has to be an us if you want to be with them. so for tonight can we just pretend. you had twenty seven. i had seventeen. you said it’s really strange these days and if you know what i mean. i said is it and poured another beer. you picked your nails nervously. and looked a little queer. and that noise of something crashing was my thin disguise. and all the things i meant to say. that never materialised. so i cracked my fortune cookie and looked into your eyes. you said i. and i said we. you said this is never going to be. i said when. you said now. and blah blah blah. it’s for the best somehow. and that sound of something crashing was my thin disguise. and all the things i meant to say. that never materialised. so i cracked my fortune cookie and looked into your eyes. dumb down doo diddy. doo diddy wap. lets make it simple. do diddly squat. dumb down doo diddy. don’t want no wrinkles. it’s the dumb down diddy. diddy wap. all you got to learn is to dumb down. dumb down your way to success. don’t ask too much of happiness. don’t ask if you don’t need to know. dumb down. get out of the road. play by the rules and you won’t get hurt. doo diddly squat. don’t play in the dirt. do the dumb down diddy. dumb down’s the word.  i’ve got three big cars. and a fancy address. and all my wives are supporting me. and now the board’s come back and said it’s all set. it’s all above board. and i earned my bonus cheque. and that little extra bit. plus a lear jet. it’s a business expense. it’s all totally legit. and it hits you with a crack. it’s conventional wisdom. everyone should have their freedom. but if there’s not enough to go round then i’ll take mine first. it’s no big deal. it’s conventional wisdom. we need to be free. we don’t need to be lovers. but there’s always one that’ll make a mess and ruin it for the others. it’s a day to day fact. it’s conventional wisdom. and we’re not turning back.
