Condescending (That Means I Talk Down To People)

[intro] This song is called Condescending That means I talk down to people People are what you technically are So well done, you’re in the sequel [verse 1] You’re not the sharpest knife in the drawer That means you’re not very bright A drawer is where the knives are kept I hope I’m not going too fast tonight You’ve got a face for radio That means no one wants to see Radio is sound without pictures Like thinking, but less frequently You’re a few chips short of a picnic That means something’s missing upstairs Upstairs means inside your head Where thoughts would live, if thoughts lived there [pre-chorus] I don’t mean to be unkind That means I’m about to be I’m only trying to help you out By explaining you to me [chorus] I’m condescending That means I talk down to people Patronising That means I think you’re small If this part sounds complicated Don’t worry, it isn’t at all I’m condescending That means I’m better than you That means you’re worse than me That means you’re starting to follow Probably [verse 2] You’re not playing with a full deck That means you’re missing some cards Cards are little paper rectangles Used by people thinking hard You couldn’t pour water from a boot If the instructions were on the heel A boot is footwear for your foot A foot is what helps you stand still You’re not exactly a genius That means you’re sort of dim Dim means not especially bright Like a bulb with emotional problems [pre-chorus] I know this may be difficult That means it might confuse Confuse means your face right now And most things that you do [chorus] I’m condescending That means I talk down to people Patronising That means I think you’re small If this part sounds complicated Don’t worry, it isn’t at all I’m condescending That means I’m better than you That means you’re worse than me That means you’re starting to follow Probably [bridge] Now this is called the bridge It means we’ve reached a different part Different means not the same Part means piece, bless your heart Bless your heart is not a blessing That means I’m being sly Sly means clever in a quiet way Which is why you shouldn’t try And if you’ve made it up to here Then give yourself a hand A hand is what you clap with Clap means hit them if you can [chorus] I’m condescending That means I talk down to people Patronising That means I think you’re small If this part sounds complicated Don’t worry, it isn’t at all I’m condescending That means I’m better than you That means you’re worse than me That means you’re starting to follow Probably [outro] This has been educational That means you learned a thing or two Thing means something I explained And two is one more than you knew I’m condescending That means I talk down to people Goodbye means we are finished now Finished means I’m done with you [end]
