It Ain't Clever, But It's Fun
Reckless Adventures: It Ain't Clever, But It's Fun
Lyrics
I'll take you back to my early teens
I reminisce about my early teenage years
Hormones we're crazy like my bullet hole jeans
My hormones were intense, likened to the wear and tear on my jeans with bullet holes
Although I was a pretty good child
Despite being a well-behaved child
Things had kinda gone a little bit wild
Things took a wild turn
I didn't care much for school
I didn't have much interest in school
My teacher was tired of me always playing the fool
My teacher was fed up with my constant fooling around
He said, Tom If you don't work hard
The teacher warned me about the importance of hard work
I'm telling you son you're never gonna get a job
He cautioned that without effort, I won't secure a job
Yeah whatever
Dismissive response to the teacher's warning
Why does it go wrong wherever I land
Expressing a feeling of things going wrong wherever the person goes
Why do I bury my head in the sand
Questioning the tendency to avoid facing problems
I'm on a sinkhole whenever I stand
Metaphorically in a sinkhole when standing, feeling unstable
So I run, yeah I run
Choosing to run away from challenges
It ain't clever but it's fun, yeah it's fun
Acknowledging that running away may not be smart, but it's enjoyable
I make trouble and it's wrong, but I'm young
Engaging in troublesome activities despite knowing they are wrong due to youthfulness
I know that it ain't clever but it's fun
Acknowledging the lack of wisdom in the actions but finding them enjoyable
My Dad wears the golden gloves
Describing the father as a skilled boxer
And knows how to swing em, so I never act tough
Not pretending to be tough since the father can handle himself
Lord knows he could have plenty on me
Acknowledging the father's potential superiority
For times I've made his life a misery
Regret for causing misery to the father
He knows he could make me cry
Acknowledging the father's ability to evoke emotions
By taking my guitar without letting me say goodbye
Referencing a potential consequence – losing a cherished possession (guitar)
It's the one thing I hold so dear
Expressing the deep significance of the guitar
Accept for my mother, my sister and my brothers here
List of cherished individuals: mother, sister, and brothers
Why does it go wrong wherever I land
Reflecting on the recurring theme of things going wrong
Why do I bury my head in the sand
Reiterating the tendency to avoid facing challenges
I'm on a sinkhole whenever I stand
Metaphorically feeling unstable whenever standing
So I run, yeah I run
Choosing to run away from challenges
It ain't clever but it's fun, yeah it's fun
Acknowledging that running away may not be smart, but it's enjoyable
I make trouble and it's wrong, but I'm young
Engaging in troublesome activities despite knowing they are wrong due to youthfulness
I know that it ain't clever but it's fun
Acknowledging the lack of wisdom in the actions but finding them enjoyable
I love to light the fire then watch it rage
Expressing enjoyment in creating chaos and watching it unfold
It's something in my blood that I can't change
Feeling an inherent desire for excitement and chaos
It won't stop until I've won
Committing to continue until achieving victory
So I guess I'll only rest when I can't run
Not planning to rest until unable to run anymore
I run, yeah I run
Continuing the theme of running away from challenges
It ain't clever but it's fun, yeah it's fun
Acknowledging that running away may not be smart, but it's enjoyable
I make trouble and it's wrong, but I'm young
Engaging in troublesome activities despite knowing they are wrong due to youthfulness
I know that it ain't clever but it's fun
Acknowledging the lack of wisdom in the actions but finding them enjoyable
So I run, yeah I run
Choosing to run away from challenges
It ain't clever but it's fun, yeah it's fun
Acknowledging that running away may not be smart, but it's enjoyable
I make trouble and it's wrong, but I'm young
Engaging in troublesome activities despite knowing they are wrong due to youthfulness
I know that it ain't clever but it's fun
Acknowledging the lack of wisdom in the actions but finding them enjoyable
