(Dave): The answer should be obvious to anyone.

(Rob) I told you more times than I care to recall
I'd get more reaction talking to a wall.
(Dave): It's no crime to be dumb 
Just don't parade it for everyone
And act like you're such a goddamn know-it at 
You know-nothing-at-all.

(Rob) Your friends call you "shit-for-brains" 
You're full of shit, that might explain 
But I think it's even less your head contains. 

G  F#  F  F#  [three times]
Dm  A  Dm  Gm  A  [twice]

(Rob) I go to the beach to catch a little sun. 
(Dave): You see me before I get a chance to run 
(Rob): I only feel contempt for you, 
You and your room temperature I.Q. 
(Dave): Well look at you - you're just a big black hole of fun 

(Rob) You need a brainscan to convince me you're not dead. 
(Dave): You need a brainscan and hope they learn to transplant a head.
(Both): Brainscan! Brainscan! 
I don't know how - how you survive, 
I don't know how - how you survive, 
I don't know how you -
You're alive
You're alive
You're alive
You're alive
