You Were Speeding by Frantics Lyrics
Officer: Excuse me, sir, would you mind getting out of your train of thought?
Thinker: What?
Officer: Where's the big idea, sir?
Thinker: Oh, I'm sorry, officer, I don't understand. I was thinking
Officer: Yeah, your mind was wandering all over the place. May I see your degree, please?
Thinker: Yeah, sure. Here
Officer: Take it out of the frame
Thinker: Sorry. It's a community college learner's permit
Officer: You need a BA to drive this idea home
Thinker: Oh, I must've been lateral thinking and not realized it
Officer: Uh-huh
Thinker: See, I had to think fast to get around that mental block back there, and I didn't notice the limits
Officer: This degree's expired. I oughta throw the encyclopedia at you
Thinker: Why? Is this a controlled thought zone?
Officer: Yes, it is, sir. See the sign?
Thinker: "School." I guess I was letting my thoughts wander all over the avenue of consideration
Officer: Uh-huh. You almost collided with established dogma back at those presumptions
Thinker: I wasn't thinking straight
Officer: I see. Have you been drinking, sir?
Thinker: A couple of beers, but I'm not illogical
Officer: Well, I should stop your thought process right now, but I'm gonna give you a ticket for quick thinking
Thinker: That's three points off my IQ!
Officer: And the fine is a penny for your thoughts
Thinker: I'll get back into the flow of normal thought, officer
Officer: Mm-hmm. You go straight to your inevitable conclusion; it's forgone, you can't miss it
Thinker: Yes
Officer: You understand?
Thinker: Yes, thank you very much, officer
Officer: Okay, off with you. [Engine turns over] Kids. Too damn smart for their own good
Thinker: What?
Officer: Where's the big idea, sir?
Thinker: Oh, I'm sorry, officer, I don't understand. I was thinking
Officer: Yeah, your mind was wandering all over the place. May I see your degree, please?
