Never Be Clever

Goin' down the line - head up high
I wonder why it's so hard to feel fine
cause all I need
plastic teeth - a pocket full of speed
and I'm cool in the heat
groovy little lady - seems I'm wasting her time
I've got headhammer bullets (?) - still back in crime
people say that I used to do better
so I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together
but I'll never
I'll never be clever
I'll never ever - I'll never be clever
some say I'm suicidal with a sense of humour
some say I'm freakin' - and they'll try to start rumours
some people say that I'm loneless law (???)
find myself a home, settle down, write a song
I love to hang around in black people's places
fascinating - starin' at faces
holy mama, make me concentrate
I've gotta write a song and I've got to create
but I'll never
I'll never be clever
You know that I'll never ever man - I'll never be clever child

Goin' down the line with my head up high
I wonder why it's so hard to feel fine
cause all I need
plastic teeth - a pocket full of speed
and I'm cool in the heat
groovy little lady - seems I'm wasting her time
I don't want to - move back to crime
people say that I used to do better
so I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together
but I'll never
I'll never be clever
I'll never ever - I'll never be clever

You know that I'll never
I'll never be clever
I'll never ever - I'll never be clever
