paroles de chanson How To Be Dumb - Elvis Costello
I
was
hell-bent
on
destroying
my
powers
of
concentration
While
you
were
living
like
a
saint
And
all
the
time
the
very
one
you
trusted
was
Washing
off
somebody
else′s
paint
Now
you've
got
yourself
a
brand
new
occupation
Every
fleeting
thought
is
a
pearl
And
beautiful
people
stampede
to
the
doorway
of
the
Funniest
fucker
in
the
world
They′re
here
to
help
you
Satisfy
your
desires
There's
a
bright
future
For
all
you
professional
liars
Now
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Are
you
ready
to
take
your
place
In
the
modern
museum
of
mistakes?
Don't
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Like
a
building
thrown
up
overnight
In
one
of
those
reverse
earthquakes
They
emptied
out
all
of
the
asylums
They
emptied
out
all
the
jails
The
′New
Bruise′
was
the
name
of
a
dance
craze
By
Jesus
Cross
and
the
Cruel
Nails
Followed
up
by
'Torturing
Little
Beaver′
With
their
contraption
of
'Barb
wire′
Between
the
fear
and
the
fever
lies
All
the
rejection
they
require
They'll
be
howling
by
midnight
They′ll
be
drooling
by
dawn
Skulls
shrunk
down
to
the
size
of
their
brains
Heads
shaven
and
shorn
Don't
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Are
you
ready
to
take
your
place
In
the
modern
museum
of
mistakes?
Don't
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Like
a
building
thrown
up
overnight
In
one
of
those
reversed
earthquakes
Trapped
in
the
House
of
the
Perpetual
Succour
where
Bitterness
always
ends
so
pitifully
You
always
had
to
dress
up
your
envy
in
some
Half
remembered
philosophy
Now
you′re
masquerading
as
pale
powdered
genius
whose
Every
bad
intention
has
been
purged
You
could′ve
walked
out
any
time
you
wanted
but
Face
it
you
didn't
have
the
courage
I
guess
that
makes
you
a
full
time
hypocrite
Or
some
kind
of
twisted
dilettante
Funny
though
people
don′t
usually
get
so
ugly
till
they
Think
they
know
what
they
want
Scratch
your
own
head
stupid
Count
up
to
three
Roll
over
on
your
back
Repeat
after
me
Don't
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Are
you
ready
to
take
your
place
In
the
modern
museum
of
mistakes?
Don′t
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Like
a
building
thrown
up
overnight
In
one
of
those
reverse
earthquakes
Ohh
don't
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Don′t
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Don't
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Yes
you
know
how
to
be
dumb?
Dumb,
dumb,
dumb,
d-d-d-dumb
Fine,
fine
