Lyrics
Algebra
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.
It's elementary
You know there's nothing to it
It's so simple
Even a child could do it
It's not
It's not algebra
I'm a coward
But then I've always known it
Too fucking loud
Maybe I'll outgrow it
It's not
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's incidental
If you only knew it
I'm temperamental
But I'm working through it
It's not It's not algebra
It's rudimentary
Easy does it
Be complimentary
I know you can do it
It's not
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's not algebra
It's elementary
You know there's nothing to it
It's so simple
Even a child could do it
It's not
It's not algebra
Say the words that I can't say
Say the words that I can't say
