sunk in

I used to believe that intelligence could solve all problems,
I used to believe that intelligence was the trump card,
All I needed to do was be a little smarter,
a little more understanding and everything would be easier.
and in many places today that is what we are told.
Some people get paid big dollars to tell us we are gods.

The more you know the more you realize that you don't know,
I heard that many times, but it never really sunk in.

But if you look at history and all the truly smart people that
were years ahead of their time you will soon see that many of them
killed themselves or were killed before their time.
It seems that it is easy to get trapped into a circle
of always wanting a little more, until your left with nothing.

I'm not saying that being able to think things through is not important,
it is very important, just don't expect the world.

This seems allot like a conundrum. lol
