Glen Phillips - Brain Trust Kid lyrics

Brain trust kid, you're not getting smarter If you can't adapt, it only gets harder Things used to be so clear Sad soul songs you sing to yourself In your cell, awaiting the help You were promised that never appeared Oh, brain trust kid There's nothing in the world to save you The big word whiz with nothing to say But a little attention a whole foot away Could've changed everything for us all And all the brain trust kids, are just getting older On the skids and losing their luster I remember when you were a star There's nothing in the world to save you now As everyone lines up to blame you Oh, brain trust kid Oh, brain trust kid So much for the best laid plans the world has never seen But we'll stay heroes in each other's eyes Beloved in our dreams Oh, brain trust kid Oh, brain trust kid There's no one in the world to save you
