Stood Up

[Verse 1]

When I found we could have some brains I was the first in line

'Cause we were, like dragging our knuckles along the ground

(Dragging our knuckles along the ground)

Ever since, I've been convinced that every sacred thought is mine

And you were still dragging your knuckles along the ground

(Dragging your knuckles along the ground)

[Pre-Chorus 1]

'Cause I think I'm there, dude (don't get ahead of yourself)

I think I'm there, dude (already high)

[Chorus]

And when they asked us who will lead

I thought it surely must be me

But I stood up too fast (I stood up too fast)

Because as soon as I was boss

The next one in line took my head clean off

'Cause I stood up too fast (I stood up too fast)

[Verse 2]

I was barely in my teens when I decided I was tired

Of always like dragging my knuckles along the ground

(Dragging my knuckles along the ground)

So with all due haste I based until I got so freakin' wired

Forgot I was dragging my knuckles along the ground

(Dragging my knuckles along the ground)

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I thought I was there, dude (you'll got ahead of yourself)

I thought I was there, dude (already high)

[Chorus 2]

And when they asked for volunteers

I must have thought they said "drink beers"

And I stood up too fast (I stood up too fast)

[Bridge]

I can imagine things that can't possibly exist

And then I add them to an ever-expanding list

And when I've solved every significant test there is

Then I'll move on no matter how many clues I've missed

[Verse 3]

It's so easy to be smart but it's a struggle to be wise

You shouldn't be always throwing your weight around

(Always throwing your weight around)

It's much better to be humble than to have a big hat size

Or you'll be just begging somebody to take you down

(Begging somebody to take you down)

[Pre-Chorus 3]

And you'll be nowhere, man (you got ahead of yourself)

And you'll be nowhere, man

Already high

[Chorus 3]

And right before your very eyes

I have ignored my own advice

'Cause I stood up too fast

(I stood up too fast)

And nobody has the slightest choice

But to put up with my droning voice

When I stood up too fast

(I stood up too fast)

[Outro]

I stood up too fast

(I stood up too fast)

I stood up too fast

(I stood up too fast)

I stood up too fast

(I stood up too fast)

I stood up too fast

(I stood up too fast)

I stood up too fast

(I stood up too fast)

(I stood up too fast)

(I stood up too fast)
