Armchair Detective

Armchair detective, what's your synopsis?
Hoping you'll tell us how we can stop this
Nobody wants to look stupid today more so than usual
To say something clever is of such importance, to say something clever is crucial

Armchair detective, what (are) you surmising?
A fountain of knowledge in times of crisis
Opinions like arseholes on days like today; everyone's got one
You?d best say it quick while it?s fresh in your mind, say it before it?s forgotten

Just 'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you?re right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right

Ignorance is bliss, folly to be wise
What's the best course of action? Waiting for advice.
Kneejerk reactions are invoked today more so than usual
To say something clever is of such importance, to say something clever is crucial

(Say what you think however far from the truth it might be)
Just 'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
(Say what you think but don't believe in a half of what you read)
Just 'cause you shout loudest don?t mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right
'cause you shout loudest don't mean that you're right

Say what you think however far from the truth it might be
Say what you think but don't believe in a half of what you read

Say what you think

Armchair detective, what's your synopsis?
Hoping you'll tell us how we can stop this
(Say what you think however far from the truth it might be)
Armchair detective, what (are) you surmising?
A fountain of knowledge in times of crisis

Nobody wants to look stupid today more so than usual
To say something clever is of such importance, to say something clever is crucial
