Verse 1 
I.Q.,
below the human race.
You win the lottery,
And spend it all the next day.
A return receipt,
when you buy Chardonnay.
It's a death row pardon,
Two minutes before your fate.
And isn't it moronic, 
don't you think? (no!)

Chorus 1 
It's like BRAINS...on your wedding day,
It's a chainless BIKE...it don't go anywhere,
It's like good ADVICE...that you just didn't take,
For you have no thoughts, go figure!

Verse 2 
So you played it safe,
found a way to fly.
You packed your suitcase,
and left your head inside.
You thought your whole damn life,
to take that flight.
And your plane crashes down,
"Was the Valujet that nice?"
And isn't it moronic, don't you think? (no!)

Chorus 2 
It's like RAIN...on your head x-ray,
A free RIDE...to a shrink anywhere,
It's a good SPLICE...that the doc didn't make,"
Is this an inkblot, or figure?"

Bridge 
Mind's a funny, funny way, of thinking about for you,
A funny, funny way, of sticking it out for you!
And you think everything's going to be all right,
you would fall for a con-man's wife!

Verse 3 Those neurotic jams,
then a clue hits you late.
Those "No Cancer" signs,hmmm, on your cigarette break.
You count 10,000 spoons,
when all you need is a life.
It's like meeting the one of your dreams,
after getting your beautiful high.
And Isn't it moronic? Don't you think? (no!)
A little too moronic?Yeah, I really do think!

Chorus 3
It's like RAID...on your flea-bitten brain,
A good high RISE, with no elevator there,
It's "MIAMI VICE"...and the plot's just as great,
Do you least have a bod' or figure?

Fade Out
Mind's a funny, funny way, of thinking about for you,
A funny, funny way, of sticking it out for you!
Like the video has a funny, funny way, of getting you out......
getting you out of your car!
