Elliott Smith — Stupidity Tries lyrics

Lyrics

Got a foot in the door
God knows what for
And itЂ™ll cut me down to size
Stupidity tries
Everything here is free
Everything but you and me This painting never dries
Stupidity tries
So then a shoulder
Raised a cheer
Coloring the sky with ash
Because they found some privateer
To sail across the sea of trash
The enemy is within
DonЂ™t confuse me with him
The truth is otherwise
Stupidity tries
And so I go from floor to floor
Looking for a port of call
Another drunk conquistador
Conquering the governorЂ™s ball
I couldnЂ™t think of a thing
That I hope tomorrow brings
Oh what a surprise
Stupidity tries
