Square Root
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.
Living faster, thinking slower
Happy with what you don’t know
Your confident incompetence
You gotta change it
You gotta change it
You want go the square root, gotta head on back to school
Sit down going nowhere root
I’ll be getting 'round to the square root really soon
No religion, only vices
Guiding by the light of crisis
Late night friends are rolling dice
You can’t help it
You can’t help it
Never listen, always lyin’
Cheatin’, stealin’, never tryin’
Just can’t change your evil ways
You want to go the square root, start breakin’ all the rules
Sit down going nowhere root
I’ll be gettin’ ‘round to the square root really soon
Yes you want to go the square root, set this homeland straight
Finally get somewhere root
I’m afraid the square root’s gonna have to wait
I’ll be gettin’ ‘round to the square really soon
I’ll be gettin’ ‘round to the square someday soon
I’ll be gettin’ ‘round to the square root
I’ll be gettin’ ‘round to it someday soon
I’ll be gettin’ ‘round
I’ll be gettin’ ‘round to it someday soon
