[Intro]
\nIgnorance or arrogance
\n(Maybe a bit of both)
\nIgnoring the science
\n(Like some kind of sloth)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSynapses movin’ slow
\nHard to know
\nIf the brain waves flow
\nOr thoughts can grow<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIgnorance or arrogance
\n(Maybe a bit of both)
\nIgnoring the science
\n(Like some kind of sloth)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe domain of the membrane’s….
\nGone lame
\nWhat the matter…
\nWith the gray matter?<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIgnorance or arrogance
\n(Maybe a bit of both)
\nIgnoring the science
\n(Like some kind of sloth)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nGoing slow (oh, oh)
\nYou don’t know
\nMoving slow (oh, no)
\nYou don’t know
\n… because you don’t want to know
\n(Oh, no, no, no)
\nDon’t know
\n(Oh, no, no, no)
\nDon’t know<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n(Oh, no, no, no)
\nDon’t know<\/p>\n
