lyrics

Son, I’ve tried to prepare you for anything
That you may find.
Now you’re set to go out in the world.
Just keep one thing in mind…

It’s smart to be stupid these days
So watch what you do and you say.
It’s smart to be stupid, smart to be stupid these days.

Son, you’ll meet many fools who will think
They are smarter than you.
You’ll be fine just as long as you let them
Believe that it’s true.
It’s smart to be stupid these days
So watch what you do and you say.
It’s smart to be stupid, smart to be stupid these days.

Don’t hold your head up.
Don’t try to stand out from everybody else.
If you know something that nobody knows
Just keep it to yourself.

That’s right, it’s smart to be stupid.
Woah, oh, ooh.

Son, when talking to fools
Don’t get angry and don’t disagree.
Nod your head for a while, then smile
And repeat after me:

It’s smart to be stupid these days
So watch what you do and you say.
It’s smart to be stupid, smart to be stupid these days.

Woah, oh, It’s smart to be stupid these days.
Perhaps it was always this way.
It’s smart to be stupid, smart to be stupid these days.
