The war against intelligence
War versus intelligence
Notebooks out plagiarists
War against intelligence
War versus intelligence
They got a lot of debris yesterday
They stuck out it's golden horns
And volunteered it's essence
War against intelligence
Hey pseud!
Why did you defect to the other side?
Hey dude!
Give the info a rest and use your mind
Dancing with your dada mates [dad and mates] in the corner
Youre such a bloody fool
You think your haircut is distinguished
When it's a blot on the english landscape
Hey dude!
Get your mental bones right outta here!
You!
Its beyond your capability
Hey git!
In the league of mental short-arse
And you will never recompense
For your war versus intelligence
War versus intelligence
War against intelligence
Hey dude!
War versus intelligence
Notebooks out plagiarists
War against intelligence
War versus intelligence
They got a lot of debris yesterday
They stuck out it's golden horns
And volunteered it's essence
War against intelligence
Hey pseud!
Why did you defect to the other side?
Hey dude!
Give the info a rest and use your mind
Dancing with your dada mates [dad and mates] in the corner
Youre such a bloody fool
You think your haircut is distinguished
When it's a blot on the english landscape
Hey dude!
Get your mental bones right outta here!
You!
Its beyond your capability
Hey git!
In the league of mental short-arse
And you will never recompense
For your war versus intelligence
War versus intelligence
War against intelligence
Hey dude!
