Leave Me Be

iceman43

Oh leave me be

I'm so tired of the attitude

that some are always right

and everyone else is so wrong

 

Oh leave me be

so I can go out among

the people who are like me

short on intellectual superiority

but long on worldly knowledge

 

Oh leave me be

those of you who are always right

but lack the common sense

to do what must be done

when their intellectual superiority

fails them in dealing with real life

 

Oh leave me be

so I may concern myself

with things that are important

to me and not to you

your intellectual superiority

has become a bore

go gather with those who

think like you and are like you

 

Oh leave me be

to be with those 

who deal in reality

and not in the fantasy world 

of intellectual superiority
