Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Hugging the bowl
And even don't know
What tears are
And what is the reason
For forgetting
Drank too much
Smoke too much
Sniff that scratched
Ain't listening to your body!
[Chorus]
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
[Verse 1]
Hugging the bowl
And even don't know
What tears are
And what is the reason
For forgetting
Drank too much (hey!)
Smoke too much
You sniff that scratched (aah!)
Ain't listening to your body!
[Chorus]
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
Well isn't it a pity-y-y-y
That you're so dumb
[Outro]
That you're so dumb
That you're so dumb
That you're so dumb
That you're so dumb
That you're so dumb
That you're so dumb
