lyrics

Your eyes are open, my eyes are closed
how could I ever be as enlightened as you?
You talk about Yeats, you talk about Kerouac
you're the most pretentious Cliffs Notes in the world

Not that I don't like that you got your education
not that I don't like the titans of literature
but I doubt Salinger would approve
of you name-dropping Holden to show you're cultured
you're cultured, you're so unavoidably cool

And you may retort that it's better to discuss books than the reality shows
doesn't change the fact that I wish I was deaf when you start preaching to me

Not that I don't like that you got your education
not that I don't like the titans of literature
but I doubt Salinger would approve
of you name-dropping Holden to show you're cultured
you're cultured, you're so unavoidably cool
