Stupid Things

(albüm: Landmines & Pantomimes - 1998)

I wanna be just as cool as the people on the radio
'Cos they don't ever say that you shouldn't and 'I told you so'
And they stand a million strong
And they remind you when you're wrong
But I'd rather get along

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things
Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings
If your only sin is doing stupid things
Doing stupid things when you're feeling low
Isn't something that you want all of the world to know
If your only sin is doing stupid things

You deflate, ego shrunk
You're just a little bit crap when you're drunk
But it's worse in your mind
'Cos everybody everywhere
Does stupid things from time to time

And when-a we get together and decide to pass a lynch around
It's a gate; a collective kind of hate: their only common ground
When circled by the pack
Even friends they will attack
But you get the bastards back

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things
Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings
If your only sin is doing stupid things
Doing stupid things when you're feeling low
Isn't something that you want all of the world to know
If your only sin is doing stupid things

Well, you got what it takes
You want to learn from all your mistakes
But it's worse in your mind
'Cos everybody everywhere
Does stupid things from time to time

Think you're the man that'll never crow?
Think you're the friends with stones to throw
Thinking a thousand times they'll never let him go
Doesn't it make you feel that you are
Who you want to be individually

And they stand a million strong
And they remind you when you're wrong
But I think I'll get along

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things
Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings
If your only sin is doing stupid things
Doing stupid things when you're feeling low
Isn't something that you want all of the world to know
If your only sin is doing stupid things

Doing stupid things, doing stupid things
Ain't it funny how they all turn into saints and kings
If your only sin is doing stupid things
Doing stupid things when you're feeling low
Isn't something that you want all of the world to know
If your only sin is doing stupid things
