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!
