Stupid Kid - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I was living at home with my folks

As you do when you're fifteen

It was Saturday, I was staying up late

When I saw him on my TV screen

There he was playing guitar

Harmonics over Harvest Moon

Sittin' on a stool, didn't have a band

Just some dude sweepin' a broom

Oh, it looks so easy that even a stupid kid like me could do it

Oh, I picked up my guitar and Epiphone

And I dropped the E to D

I learned the words, I wrote 'em down

And I tried to sing it simply

And in the living room, I gathered 'em around

Mom and dad to hear me sing

Well, they seemed to love it, they said it was great

But that's what they said about everything

Oh, it looks so easy that even a stupid kid like me could do it

Oh, I bought the record, I put it on

But it didn't sound like what I'd seen

A full-on production with background singers

Oh, it had a sort of hollowed sheen

But after time I learned to love it

Yeah, the studio version grew on me

In fact, that's the version that ended up a-going on

My Best of 90s mix CD

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

Na-na, na-na, na-na

Woah, I gave that CD to her

And she left me that summer

Woah, I gave that CD to her

And she left me that summer
