Did you ever get help?
By far and away she's more ingenious.
She's inferior.
The dense medium's mine,
the light one is hers.
She's bending rays to the interior.
Did you ever get help with the problems or exercise?
Did you ever get sad on your bed late at night,
Crying, listening to Either/Or?
Did you ever make out on the Capitol steps with an
AK-47-holding Marxist girl?
Did you ever get help with the problems?
No- you never can admit it.
That's fine.
I'm going home to fail.
Did you ever get help, Argentina?
Did you ever get help, Czechoslovakia?
Did you ever get help?
By far and away, you are ingenious. You’re inferior.
Did you ever get help?
By far and away, I am inventive. I'm inferior.

Yeah, I couldn't help but smile when I heard that reference. Besides that, I could use some help as to the meaning of this song.
