[Intro] (Spoken, close to mic) I know exactly what I’m doing. That’s why I’m doing it wrong. [Verse 1] All eyes on me like I’m center stage, “Simple task, don’t overthink,” they say. I load the glitch like a hand grenade, Pull the pin slow while I tilt my head and pray. [Refrain – “Playing Dumb High”] I play dumb, dumb, dumb, and I love that chill, Watching all fuckups little power trips stand still. Purposefail, let this dastardly silent response ring, Shock in their faces is my favorite thing. I play dumb, dumb, dumb, then I twist that knife, “Oops, my bad,” while I rewire your life. Purposefail grin when the mask drops low, I know what I’m doing and I do it slow. [Verse 2] Boss says, “C’mon, this is basic math,” I draw a smiley face on the criminal path. They asked me beg just to fit their plan, But I tripped their wire with hot coffee in my hand. [Refrain – “Playing Dumb High”] I play dumb, dumb, dumb, and I love that chill, Watching all their little power trips crash still. Purposefail, let the silent response ring, Shock in their faces is my favorite thing. I play dumb, dumb, dumb, then I twist that knife, “Oops, my bad,” while I rewire your life. Purposefail grin when the mask drops low, I know what I’m doing and I do it slow. [Bridge] You wrote the rules, I fucked the fine print, Turned every line into a misfired poser hint. You want control? I just flipped the script: “I scatter it,” with a loaded wink. [Verse 3] I miss the target that I marked for myself, Knock their sacred numbers on the shelf. They’ll call me useless, I’ll show them I didn't try, all along, While their whole fuckboy system sings the wrong damn song. [Final Refrain – “Purposefail Rush”] I play dumb, dumb, dumb, and I love that chill, Watching little power trips I wrecked stand still. Purposefail, let the real silence really ring, Shock in their faces be the more delicious thing. I play dumb, dumb, dumb, then I live my life, “Oops, my bad,” while I escape your sloppy strife. Purposefail grin when the mask drops low, I know what I’m doing and I do it slow. [outro] hey, the world. I gotta tell you, I am sorry it turned out this way. I tried and tried. they never listened, they refused to care. they each made it worse in their own way. none of them ever gave the barest ounce of support. reflecting their method lead me to this. and I have to agree. I can see why it would be the first choice of a complete goddamn fuckup in life. ancient rule as it has always been, when you open the door to the behavior, it no longer is unethical for me to do to you. Do you really think. you paid enough attention, to play this game? in your entire life, do you imagine you will ever be a contender?
