The Weaker Argument Defeats The Stronger Lyrics

I think you know
I'd like to go
'Cause all the ladies are stinking
Don't even try to beg

I lack the pace
I lack the moves, I lack the looks, I lack the grace
And all the men say that the planets can exist
But they know niche, it's just a temporary glitch
Their lovers cannot love or stand

By the way
I saw your friends today and they all said you're great
They mentioned something that the planets can exist
There's nothing in their eyes and nothing will persist
Oh brother I don't understand

What will our friends say?
If dreaming's not wrong enough
Checking our history books
Seeing if we're strong enough

Please take me through
And we'll find people more intelligent than you
And they're not bothered if the planets can exist
So we procured from them the legendary list
Point one is primed and planned
Two says not to clans
C states all the gentlemen are fools
Four is on the door
Five is on the floor
There's nothing more or less that's all there is

What will our friends say?
If dreaming's not wrong enough
Checking our history books
Seeing if we're strong enough

I remember liberty
I remember what it means
Burning our history books
Getting a better look

I have no doubt
We must get out
'Cause all the ladies are stinking
Don't even try to beg

I guess it is about being worried that the friends you hang out with are stupid?

"Please take me through And we'll find people more intelligent than you"

here some corrections:

"history books" instead of "history notes"

"i remember liberty" instead of "i remember where we stood"

"getting a better look" instead of "getting up past the break"

Lyric Correction

I second all of those. I'm pretty certain it's also "if dreaming's not wrong enough" too, rather than "if dreaming's not wrong in love".

This song always puzzled me, but I think it's about being told by people you know that you can't do something (like a relationship or a band), so you go and find some other people who are more intelligent - or possibly just less pessimistic.

What the hell the legendary list is, I have no idea.
