[Verse 1] Got a thousand-dollar desk for the work I’ll never do A stack of crisp notebooks, perpetually new I’m curated, courageous, modern and motivated I'd have a wall of platinum hits if I hadn't procrastinated I’ve got the software, hardware, right gear, a good ear To do absolutely nothing since success is almost here [Chorus] I’m the Patron Saint of Potential, the King of the "Could" I’m way too smart to be actually good! My ideas are great and I can't wait to start Just biding my time until I finish my work of art Patron Saint of Potential, the King of the "Could" I’m way too smart to be actually good! My ideas are great and I can't wait to start Just biding my time until I finish my work of art [Verse 2] I spend my afternoons sneering at the people who try Dissecting their failures with a practiced, cold eye Sure, they finished a project, but it’s mediocre to fine While I’m sitting on a "magnum opus" right here in my mind With the taste of the masses—it’s too pure to let out So I’ll keep it tucked in safely... until I choose to shout [Chorus] I’m the Patron Saint of Potential, the King of the "Could" I’m way too smart to be actually good! My ideas are great and I can't wait to start Just biding my time until I finish my work of art Patron Saint of Potential, the King of the "Could" I’m way too smart to be actually good! My ideas are great and I can't wait to start Just biding my time until I finish my work of art [Bridge] If I never step out on the stage, I can’t ever be booed If I never write the line, I can’t be misunderstood I’m a genius in theory! A titan in my head! If I'm a vulture, reality's roadkill, and I’m not ready to be fed! [Finale] I’m the Patron Saint of Potential, the King of the "Could" I’m way too smart to be actually good! My ideas are great and I can't wait to start Just biding my time until I finish my work of art Patron Saint of Potential, the King of the "Could" I’m way too smart to be actually good! My ideas are great and I can't wait to start Just biding my time until I finish my work of art I’m the Patron Saint of Potential, the King of the "Could" I’m way too smart to be actually good! My ideas are great and I can't wait to start Just biding my time until I finish my work of art
