It’s the age of the Naked Brain
Nothing sacred, its only profane
I’m sippin fine champange
Thinking ‘bout the new brain drain
Some it’s chic some say urbane.
My heart speaks a double speak
Can’t translate, it's Ancient Greek
Makes you think makes you wanna critique
You ain’t old you’re a fine antique
And your mine, and your mine
And your mine, mine, mine, mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine.
We’re all victims of the Naked Brain
Dancing nightly in the acid rain
Lord and master of the world of pain
Curing the sick, the blind and the lame
Extolling virtues, never laying no blame
Some say it’s sad, some say a shame.
My heart speaks a double speak
Can’t translate, it's Ancient Greek
Makes you think makes you wanna critique
You ain’t old you’re a fine antique
And your mine, and your mine
And your mine, mine, mine, mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine.
It’s the dawn of the Naked Brain
Its got clothes but always abstains
Its goin’ bald so it uses Rograine
Throwin’ matches at old gas main
Move the family outside of Ft. Wayne
Drawin’ up a military campaign
Some it’s chic, some say urbane
Some say it’s sad, some say a shame.
My heart speaks a double speak
Can’t translate, it's Ancient Greek
Makes you think makes you wanna critique
You ain’t old you’re a fine antique
And your mine, and your mine
And your mine, mine, mine, mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine.
