"Brain Trust Kid" lyrics - GLEN PHILLIPS

Brain trust kid, you're not getting smarter
If you can't adapt, it only gets harder
Things used to be so clear
Sad soul songs you sing to yourself
In your cell, awaiting the help
You were promised that never appeared

Oh, brain trust kid
There's nothing in the world to save you

The big word whiz with nothing to say
But a little attention a whole foot away
Could've changed everything for us all
And all the brain trust kids, are just getting older
On the skids and losing their luster
I remember when you were a star

There's nothing in the world to save you now
As everyone lines up to blame you
Oh, brain trust kid
Oh, brain trust kid

So much for the best laid plans the world has never seen
But we'll stay heroes in each other's eyes
Beloved in our dreams

Oh, brain trust kid
Oh, brain trust kid
There's no one in the world to save you
