Here we come, through [E] the market square, [G] with our fine [A] clothes and hair.
[Bm] Aristotle and Socrates, [E] Plato and Diogenes,
[G] Forfax birds with our Greek [A] philosophy.
[D] Hey, hey, we're the thinkers, wondering what life is for.
[E] We're paid to try and think up [D] the answer to [A] that and more.
[D] People [G] found me [D] irritating, thanks to my interrogating.
Like a [G] toddler was always [A] asking why.
[D] What is [G] wisdom, what is [D] beauty, what is nature, what is duty?
Taught everything [G] I know to [A] this next guy.
And [Bm] Plato was his pupil [E] thinker, ended up with inky [G] fingers,
Writing every word he [A] taught me down.
[Bm] Also had my own [E] theory, like for everything that [G] we see,
There's a perfect version [A] to be found.
[D] Hey, hey, we're the thinkers, mega brainy ancient priests.
[E] We're always busy thinking, [D] cause the truth is [A] what we seek.
[D] My name [G] is [D] Diogenes, I'm not one to say thanks or please.
Hug statues [G] and walk barefoot [A] in the snow.
[D] Never [G] believed in [D] possessions, thought they gave the wrong impression.
But faith in [G] total freedom, [A] don't you know?
I [Bm] studied at Plato's Academy, [E] taught Alex the Great, I know everything, [G] me.
Intrigued by the world, wanted to [A] show it all.
[Bm] I took all their theories [E] higher, discovered water, ether, earth, air and [G] fire.
Learned every science I missed, though [A] know it all.
[D] Hey, hey, we're the thinkers, very [G] witty, [D] very wise.
[E] No one can outwink us, [D] we are heaven's [A] brainiest guys.
[G] Not everyone likes Smarties, [Gm] though, even Socrates had his [D] foe.
When tried for treason, he simply [B] said, why?
[G] They sentenced him to drink hemlock, he said, you know, if I take [A] stock, I am annoying.
I'll take that and die.
[D] Hey, hey, we're the thinkers, politicians gave us strife.
[E] But we don't give a tinkers, [D] cause we taught them all [A] around life.
