No Brain No Pain (Bonus Track)

(Album: X-Static - 1979)

The monkey in the middle doesn't hear what he said
He just lets the ball keep flying over his head
Doesn't laugh when he's right and doesn't cry when he's wrong
He's a happy chimp jumping, just keeps singing along

No brain, no pain
No brain, no pain
Stay happy, stay happy
No pain, no brain
No brain, no pain

Knowing that you don't know is a terrible thing
When you don't know nothing and they make you the king
Smart enough to attack but then you've got to retreat
And when you trip to the stars you feel the lead in your feet

No brain, no pain
No brain, no pain
Oh please don't worry about anything
No pain, no brain
Stay happy, stay happy
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Don't try to rise above it
It's better below
When life is going by you, you'll never know
When everything is simple, it's really sublime
Don't try to rise above it, below it is fine

When we were younger, we were so sensitive
We felt everything so intensely
So smart, we took everything apart
Let's hear it for the boys and girls just having fun and not worrying about
Anything

No brain, no pain
No brain, no pain
No pain, no brain
No pain, no brain

Oh stay happy
Oh please stay happy
We do not worry about anything
Oh happy, happy, happy

Don't try to rise above it
It's better below
When life is going by you, you'll never know
When everything is simple, it's really sublime
Don't try to rise above it
Below it is fine

Don't try to rise above it
It's better below
When life is going by you, you'll never know
When everything is simple, it's really sublime
Don't try to rise above it
Below it is fine

Never rise above it
It's better below
When life is going by you, you'll never know
When everything is simple, it's really sublime
Don't try to rise above it
Below it is fine
