Wiseman Lyrics

said the man
who feel him a fool
for he be the wiseman
for the man
who don't think he's a fool he
control his destiny
but he's too cool for himself
for himself
for himself
all i need
is something to keep me movin' on
in a world
where violence reigns
and everybody seems so strange to me
said the man
who feel him a fool
for he be the wise man
for the man
who dont feel him a fool he
control his destiny
yeah he's too cool for himself
for himself
for himself
oh
this weapon of destruction
swallows peoples suffering
and no confusion
you aint winnin' if your losin'
we don't need
said the man
who feel him a fool he
for he be the wiseman
for the man
who don't think he's a fool he
control his destiny
but he's too cool for himself
for himself
for himself
oh

I think the meaning of this song is that the man that thinks hes a fool is wiser than a man who doesn't. The real fool is the one who thinks he controls is destiny. By thinking he is in control he doesn't practice any humility in his life and relies only upon himself. The man that knows he doesn't have all the answers to life is the much wiser person. Knowledge is really knowing that you don't know!!!!!! If you believe you have all the answers like the man who doesn't feel hes a fool you have a big ego and it makes you to cool for yourself. You are unable to admit your mistakes as well as admit you don't know everything. Favorite slightly stoopid song!!!!!!

@otis2010 I agree with you, your probably the most accurate i just want to add the man who thinks he is the fool has done things in life to make him feel that way. But hes learned from it and gained wisdon from it therefore he's the Wiseman even though he doesn't feel that way because of the mistakes he's done and he does know the answers unlike the man who doesn't feel like he's a fool cause he hasn't done things in life to make him feel that way. He hasn't made mistakes in his life continues to move...

i always took it as that the man who might think he's a fool is the wiseman, even though he may not know it. and the one who is full of himself is just kind of hopeless in that he doesnt realize that he isnt the wiseman he thinks he is. and the one singing about this is just observing this ignorance and violence and such..

I think that the wiseman is someone who can laugh at himself and relize that he can mess up and isn't perfect. The other guy is too full of himself.

This song to me is saying to the man who feels out of place and dislikes these times of craziness in society, destruction, hate and violence. That the one who who will stand on his own and not follow others is the wise man. Why isn't anyone posting or adding new songs to SS? They are phenominal.

yeah its about feeling out of place, but not for the "wise man"... The wise man is a guy who is arrogant and thinks he is a lot cooler than he really is, and the singer is feeling out of place because he is the only one who sees reality.

this song is sayin that violence is to prominent in society, and people look at it as a cool thing, but the man who disagrees with violence is the wiseman

I couldnt agree more with you kiersten Ohman. You are right.

Cover art for Wiseman lyrics by Slightly Stoopid

This is the first song I've heard from Slightly Stoopid a few years ago and i have been hooked ever since...and kiersten ohman is right about the meaning of this song

I feel that in this song, the singer is the only one who sees the true arrogance in the wiseman. Although, others look up to him and follow him, the wiseman is not truely wise and possibly represents something larger like the government or just a leader in general that does not see things clearly. "You aint winnin if you loosin"
