Glen Phillips & Toad Lyrics

Brain trust kid (Unlucky 7)

Brain trust kid, not gettin' smarter Can't adapt, it only gets harder Things used to be so clear The sad soul songs you sing to yourself In your cell, awaiting the help You were promised and never appeared Brain trust kid There's no one in the world to save you Big words with nothing to say But a little attention, a whole foot away Cause it changed everything for us all All the brain trust kids are just getting older On the skids, losing their lustre But I remember when you were a star There's nothing in the world to save you now As everyone lines up to blame you Brain trust kid, brain trust kid So much for the best laid plans the world has never seen But we'll stay heroes in each others' eyes Beloved in our dreams There's no one in the world to save you
