I Know How To Think (rewrite of I Should Be Allowed To Think by They Might Be Giants)

I'm of the worst kind of my generation
Plauged with thought, sense and intellect
I can figure out how to work my toaster
I also know how to think

I can figure out how to work my toaster
I also know how to think
I also know how to think
I also know how to think
You won't be able to speak the merest, small idea
Should one ever occur to you
Unneccesary, brains aren't really used much anymore anyway

I see the best minds of my generation
Applying spray paint to pub walls
They have tendancy to shoot their mouthes off
But you would already know

I'm never one to be a boaster
But I am able to think
But I am able to think
But I am able to think
And I can blurt the greatest idea
You'd be suprised, yes they occur to me
If necessary, I can even count past twenty three

I dare one in the crowd
To try to come up with a single original thought
A member of the crowd
Is part of the the bad who interest you

I'm of the worst of my generation
Repulsed by alcohol, pills and drugs
Though I'm a mess I still have feelings
I even tend to feel

I've been perceived as a big ol joker
Yet I am able to think
And I am able to think
And I know how to think
You too have brains but you have no idea
Watching your life tossed away sickens me
But sadly, your strong will is also free

I'm the only one who'll think
I'm the only one who'll think
I'm the only one who'll think (I dare you all to think)
I'm the only one who'll think (I dare you all to think)
I'm the only one who'll think (I dare you all to think)
I'm the only one who'll think (I dare you all to think)
