Herman Brood Lyrics
"Never Be Clever"

Goin' down the line, my head up high
I wonder why it's so hard to feel fine
Got 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
Got a hit and a bullet, still back in crime
And people say I used to do better
I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together

But I'll never (Ooh wahaa)
I'll never be clever
I'll never, ever (Ooh wahaa)
I'll never be clever

Some say I'm suicidal with a sense of humour
Some say I'm fakin' it, all tryin' to start rumours
Some people say that I won't last long
Find myself a home, settle down, write a song

But I love to hang around in black people's places
Fascinated, starin' at faces
Holy mama, make me concentrate
I've gotta write a song and I've got to create

But I'll never (Ooh wahaa)
I'll never be clever
You know that I'll never ever man (Ooh wahaa)
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
Got all I need, plastic teeth,
A bucket full of speed and I'm cool with the heat

Groovy little lady, seems I'm wasting her time
I've done more time, move back to crime
And people say I used to do better
So I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together

But I'll never (Ooh wahaa)
I'll never be clever
I'll never ever no (Ooh wahaa)
I'll never be clever

You know that I'll never (Ooh wahaa)
I'll never be clever
I'll never ever (Ooh wahaa)
I'll never be clever
