Blessed with the face of an ignoramus
Cursed with the heavy weight of genius
And the underrated trait of kindness
How will the gentle world betray you?
You're not allowed to say you're bored
You're not allowed to say you're bored
You're not allowed to say you're bored
You were raised to accommodate the ruse
But just inside you ache for the ugly truth
How can you write when everyone's your muse?
And so the gentle world betrays you
You're not allowed to say you're bored
You're not allowed to say you'r bored
You're not allowed to say you're bored
Never disappointed if you never try
With a wealth of great ideas but no supplies
Still we'll see it in your wearily tired eyes
How could the gentle world betray you?
You're not allowed to say you're bored
You're not allowed to say you're bored
You're not allowed to say you're bored
You're not allowed to say you're bored
