SMART GUYS As recorded by John Mellencamp (From the 1985 Album SCARECROW - 2022 SUPER DELUXE EDITION) [Intro]                N.. [Verse 1] Well some guys are just born with IQ’s of 610 When you talk to ’em you need a Thesaurus To understand what’s been said And you finally figure it out Then you realize they were showing off Didn’t have much to say The ordinary person just stands there with his hands in his pocket And watches as the genius walks away [Chorus] Smart guys yeah they will make you feel dumb Smart guys hey I bet you all know some Smart guys who are smarter than you And they’re smarter than I I am too                 D   N.C. Oh those smart guys [Interlude]        [Verse 2] Then sometimes someone will say something You’ll think "Well how profound" Then you’ll ask ’em about it Tell you what book they got it from And where you can get it downtown Those deep thinkers man they’re awful nice joes But I like ’em best don’t talk to us simple folk They can be helpful when they shoot it to you straight But when they confuse you with the metaphors Hey it’s hard to relate [Chorus] Smart guys yeah can make you feel dumb Smart guys hey I bet you know some Smart guys who are smarter than you And they’re smarter than I I am too Oh those smart guys [Bridge] Sometimes things are important And sometimes they’re not    And those smart guys can make this world a better place       E                                       N.C. If we all just give it a little more thought [Interlude]               [Out-Chorus] Smart guys yeah they can make you feel dumb Smart guys hey I bet you know some Smart guys who are smarter than you And they’re smarter than I I am too Smart guys yeah they can make you feel dumb Smart guys hey I bet you know some Smart guys who are smarter than you And they’re smarter than I I am too Oh those smart guys

Cette chanson évoque l'idée que certaines personnes naissent avec une intelligence exceptionnelle, ce qui peut parfois laisser les autres se sentir inférieurs ou confus. Elle insiste sur le fait que, bien que ces "génies" puissent avoir des pensées profondes et des idées brillantes, leur manière de communiquer peut être déroutante pour ceux qui ne partagent pas le même niveau de compréhension. Le ton est à la fois léger et un brin critique envers ces individus qui, bien que brillants, ont tendance à se montrer pédants, laissant les gens ordinaires en retrait. À travers des anecdotes simples, elle nous rappelle l'importance de la clarté et de l'accessibilité dans les échanges intellectuels.
