[Verse 1: Baxter Dury]

Did you listen?

Did you listen?

Cleverer than me

So it's hard to believe

Did you listen?

Did you listen?

People like them

Think they understand

Look at them laughing inside

Did you listen?

Did you listen?

All those funny faces

Pretending to be nice

Did you listen?

Did you listen?

Catch you when they can

Leave you in a mess

Look at them laughing inside

[Chorus: Madelaine Hart]

And the white coats are coming for the clever ones

Hide your books

My boy

And the white coats are coming for the clever ones

Hide your books

My boy

[Verse 2: Baxter Dury]

Did you listen?

Did you listen?

No one thought as much

Expectation was so tough

Did you listen?

Did you listen?

People like them

Think they understand

Look at them laughing inside

[Chorus: Madelaine Hart]

And the white coats are coming for the clever ones

Hide your books

My boy

And the white coats are coming for the clever ones

Hide your books

My boy

[Outro: Madelaine Hart]

Da-da-dum, da-da-dum

Da-da-dum, da-da-dum

Da-da-dum, da-da-dum

Da-da-dum, da-da-dum
