The only genius I ever met was me
Why is it so hard for others not to see?
I try so hard to teach everything I know
And all I hear from folks is where to go
It's my cross to bear, this brain of mine
Such inherent brilliance, I can't confine
This glimmering light shines to all inanity
To bring hope for this plenary of insanity
Everyone should listen, and listen well
Because there's no place for me in hell
All the souls, you see, that made it there
Didn't heed the virtuosity I tried to share
It's a plague, this scintillating mind I wield
Oh, but if such lucidity were left unrevealed
The consequences of such a horrid travesty
Would for you to be just another casualty
