Brain Heart Courage
Chorus:
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
Verse 1:
Scarecrow if you only had a brain
Maybe you would think and probably make a change
Instead of bein’ the status quo
You would wanna switch your status to havin’ mo’
Than that regular job standing out on the pole
Always up on the field wrestling with the crows
Definitely a yolk on your back, you were born for more
You protect the whole field like the call was yours
Tattered clothes and a battered soul
Feeling empty inside
You say this the last straw then you have to roll
That’s the road less traveled in Os
People be secure with the most average of jobs
Like they never seen farmers lay off folk
Businesses go bad or they find a new way to shake off crows
If you had a brain, you’d consider this
Take your destiny in your own hand and start living it
Chorus:
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
Verse 2:
Tin man, if you only had a heart
You wouldn’t be so rigid in your thoughts
I’m pretty sure you’d be more considerate of Os
The beautiful environment you’re living in of course
The spilling of your oils interfere with the soil
Interfere with your soul, you got one but you don’t know
Everything is mechanical to you, it’s just clockwork
You know how a clock work, tick tock tick tock turn
And so you tamper with what was natural in this wonderful land
From the food we consume to the lovable plants
Touching art with a rusty heart
So now when the horn blows
We don’t know what it is but know that something’s wrong
Unfortunately you was stiff in your ways
You got a heart but act as if it’s missing today
All I gotta say is think from your chest not your head
Now I’ma let the hook sing the rest, ‘nough said
Chorus:
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
Verse 3:
Yo, cowardly lion dude, how you deny the truth?
Just so you can live nice and cool
Cats scared nowadays to fumble
Used to wanna rumble, used to be the kings of the jungle
Now you all humble, it’s like you lost muscle
I just wanna see you get your bite back and join in the struggle
You’re supposed to be the symbol of strength
In the past people had you on the emblem when
That was then, today you say you playin’ it cool
‘cause you don’t wanna rock the boat plus your labor is through
So you’re lame, you don’t know your name or show your mane
You just wanna assimilate and play the game
I get it, it’s hard to be a leader
Sometimes they need ya, other times mistreat ya
Don’t let that defeat ya, you are a mighty creature
You can’t forget to stand up for the least, yup
Chorus:
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
If I had a brain, I would be smarter
If I had courage, I would go harder
If I had a heart, I would be fearless
My word is in this when I take a chance
