CLAIMS TO POWER

People claim great power
People claim great power

I read a book where it said if I meditate long enough
I could actually learn how to fly
And impress all my friends but I know before long
they'd only be bumming me out asking for rides
The same book says that those of great learning
Those of great learning need never die
But I guess after ten thousand years they get bored
And hop off the bed of nails for a beer on the sly

People claim great power
People claim great power

I don't care how long I live
Long as I live with someone I need
Who doesn't insist on hogging the covers
Or talking to me about books while I'm trying to read
Someone who knows how to juggle and struggles
To get rid of door to door salesmen mercifully
Someone who's dumber than Einstein
Smarter than Elvis
Smarter than me
