Go Dumb
Embracing Foolish Joy: The Happy Fits' 'Go Dumb' Decoded
Lyrics
I go forty down a fifty
I drive at a speed of 40 in a 50 mph zone.
I grow one-inch under six feet
I am just under six feet tall and still growing.
I can rise with the tide
I can go along with the flow of life.
But when I go to the top
When I reach the pinnacle.
I need more, I need more
I desire more, a greater experience.
More to make this poor man go
I require additional things to bring joy to this less privileged man.
I can slug the sleaze
I can confront and overcome dishonesty.
(Like a rambling runt)
Similar to a small, wandering person.
My weak hands and knees
My lack of strength in hands and knees.
(Got me banned to my bum)
I am relegated to sitting down.
My id got the keys
My subconscious mind has control.
(I'm here for the fun)
I am here for the enjoyment.
Put my mind at ease
Bring peace to my mind.
I just wanna go dumb
I just want to have a carefree and foolish time.
I go forty down a fifty
Reiteration of driving at 40 in a 50 mph zone.
I found a way to kill a deadbeat
I found a way to deal with unproductive people.
I can rise with the tide
I can adapt to changing circumstances.
But when I go to the top
Similar to line 4, reaching the top.
I need more, I need more
Expressing the need for more in that situation.
More to make this poor man go
Similar to line 6, needing more for happiness.
I can slug the sleaze
Confronting dishonesty, similar to line 8.
