Gonna take more eyes than the eyes that you have in your head
Gonna take more awareness than what you currently possess.
To see whatâ#128##153#s happening gonna take more teeth
Understanding the situation requires more insight than you currently have.
Than those in your mouth to chew it all down
It will require greater discernment than you currently exercise.
Gonna take more brains than the brains that you have in your skull
To grasp the complexity, more intelligence is needed than you currently employ.
