Biology – Sophisdecay Lyrics 16 years ago
To me, it seems that Francis is mocking the, well, pseudo-intellectuals. I think he's critical of them, and kinda calling their bluff as if to say, "stop pretending to be smart by emulating the philosophers from ages ago" and almost saying learn things your own way.

Biology – Sophisdecay Lyrics 16 years ago
He missed a part or two. These are the full lyrics:

Will this discontent breed progression or insanity
At least I'll have something to outlive my body
Through the city we wonder like a dog without a collar
I'm the same sword swallower, not much has changed

Fakers that vomits lines from dead philosophers
But your vocab doesn't quite match your posture
Through the city we wonder like dogs without collars
I'm the same sword swallower, not much has changed

And we won't be impressed by pseudo-intellect
We won't fall for that
We won't carry paperbacks and never crack the cover
We won't fall for that

Contrived sophistication is a parasitic invasion
When you've got no imagination, prosthetic humans
Through the city we wonder like dogs without collars
I'm the same sword swallower, I just keep on moving

And we won't be impressed by pseudo-intellect
We won't fall for that
We won't carry paperbacks and never crack the cover
We won't fall for that
