I wrote the textbook I am the expert I know what it took To find the answers I roamed the edge of the earth In hopes it'd be worth More than just An A+ for effort I used my microscope To break it down now And then my telescope To figure out how To see the much bigger picture Concoct a mixture In case I fail to remember how To go through a phase And still know my name Chorus: Break it down now, Figure out how To make it all make sense In less than seven days x2 Back, back, Forth, forth It's automatic Quit keeping score And while you're at it Go on now roll up your sleeves Use elbow grease Show me how to bury a hatchet Don't go digging up Artifacts from Stories we don't bring up Relax and Let it tell itself This plot will sell And roll right off your back Chorus x2 Take me down off the shelf Thicken my shell Put me back up where I sleep so well Put me back up, Put me back up, Put me back up, I don't sleep so well Chorus
