I’m a skeptic’s skeptic

I’m a skeptic’s … skeptic

I knock what they all have to say.

I’m a skeptic’s worse skeptic,

cause skeptics to me just see gray

With their magnanimous grandiose theories,

they think that their thinking's so right.

But I knock the skeptic’s thinking,

cause I think that their thinking's not right.

And it’s then that they get all frustrated,

when someone just doesn’t agree.

It’s then that they usually turn nasty,

if you’re not agreeing with their ‘thought cup of tea.’

And it’s then that I say;

“have you thought of this and that ramification,”

and I say it with a smile on my face?

“Have you thought that you’re just being prejudice

and lacking in logic and grace?”

And it’s then they let loose with their profanities,

and accuse me of being "incorrect."

And it’s then that things get ‘all so personal,’

especially when I accuse them of being ‘stiff necked’

“O what would you know” is their predictable reply.

"Don't you know that I'm the professional type!”

And somehow this is suppose to make me adore them,

even though they speak to me nonsensical hype.

So watch out for me cause,

I’m a skeptic’s worse enemy,

I don’t believe a word that they say.

That makes me a ‘skeptic’s worse skeptic,’

cause skeptics to me ‘just see gray.’
