Lyrics
When Not Being Stupid Is Not Enough
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
when not being stupid
is not enough
when not being wrong
is not enough
waited such a long time
have I waited too long?
in a world that's so bad
it's not hard to feel good
you do what you have to
not as much as you could
just because you're not wrong
doesn't mean that you're right when not being stupid
is not enough
when not being evil
is not enough
you look all around you
never look up at the stars
