Stupidity Tries -
by Elliott Smith
| Got a foot in the door | |
| God knows what for | |
| And it'll cut me down to size | |
| Stupidity tries | |
| Everything here is free | |
| Everything but you and me | |
| This painting never dries | |
| Stupidity tries | |
| So then a shoulder | |
| Raised a cheer | |
| Coloring the sky with ash | |
| Cause they found some privateer | |
| To sail across the sea of trash | |
| The enemy is within | |
| Don't confuse me with him | |
| The truth is otherwise | |
| Stupidity tries | |
| And so I go from floor to floor | |
| Looking for a port of call | |
| Another drunk conquistador | |
| Conquering the governor's ball | |
| I couldn't think of a thing | |
| That I hope tomorrow brings | |
| Oh, what a surprise | |
| Stupidity tries |
