Genius child

R. Gordon

This is a song for the genius child.

Sing it softly, for the song is wild.

Sing it softly as ever you can --

Lest the song get out of hand.

Nobody loves a genius child.

Can you love an eagle,

Tame or wild?

Wild or tame,

Can you love a monster

Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child.

Kill him -- and let his soul run wild!
