If all the good people were clever
And all the clever people were good,
The World would be nicer than ever
We thought that it possibly could.
But somehow it’s seldom or never
The two get along as they should.
The good are so harsh to the clever,
The clever so rude to the good.
And all the clever people were good,
The World would be nicer than ever
We thought that it possibly could.
But somehow it’s seldom or never
The two get along as they should.
The good are so harsh to the clever,
The clever so rude to the good.
