Going down the line, my head up high
I wonder why it's so hard to feel fine
Got all I need, plastic teeth
A pocket full of speed and I'm cool with the heat.

I got a groovy little lady, seems I'm waisting her time
Got a hit and a bullet, still back in crime
And people say I used to do better
I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together.

But I'll never (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever
But I'll never ever (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever.

Some say I'm suicidal with a sense of humour
Some say I'm faking it all trying to start rumours
Some people say a moment lasts longer
I find myself at home, settled down, write a song.

I'll love to hang around in black people's places
Fascinated staring at faces
Holy mama, make me concentrate
Got to write a song and I got to create!

But I'll never (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever
You know that I'll never, ever, no (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever.

Going down the line, my head up high
I wonder why it's so hard to feel fine
Got all I need, plastic teeth
A pocket full of speed and I'm cool with the heat.

I got a groovy little lady, seems I'm waisting her time
I don't want time, move back to crime
And people say I used to do better
So I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together.

But I'll never (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever
I'll never, ever (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever.

You know that I'll never (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever
I'll never, ever (Oooh, aha)
I'll never be clever.
