Lyrics
Intro - Gentle acoustic guitar
Soft humming
Mmm... hmm-hmm-hmm...
Verse 1
Dear friend, sit down beside me here,
There's something I must say with love sincere
chuckle
Remember Tuesday? You said "I'm an electrician nowâpiece of cake!"
And then the whole block went dark... [sigh] ...for three hours straight!
Remember when you swore: "I'll fix this car myself!"
With one YouTube video and confidence on the shelf?
The mechanic later screamed: "Who did THIS?!"
But hey, what matters mostâyou were so sure of it!
laughs softly
Chorus
Ohhh, my dear friend, you're golden, it's true,
I love you even though you amaze me with all that you do!
[vocalization] Oooh-ooh!
The less you know,
The more you believe in yourself, don't you know!
Ignorance holds you like a mother so tight,
Even when everything's burningâyou think it's alright!
whistles
But I'm here, my dear friend so sweet,
To tell you the truthâwith a smile so neat!
Verse 2
Remember that day when you said: "Medicine is simple, man!"
"Doctors complicate itâI know the real plan!"
chuckle
Four Google articles and suddenly you're a doc,
Handing out diagnosesâfree of charge, no block!
"Don't trust them!" you shout with passionate fire,
"I read on a forumâthat's where truth transpires!"
And the fact that doctors studied ten years in pain...
sigh
Well, those are just details! You've got intuitionâthat's your gain!
laughs warmly
Chorus
Ohhh, my dear friend, you're golden, it's true,
I love you even though you amaze me with all that you do!
[vocalization] La-la-la!
The less you know,
The more you believe in yourself, don't you know!
Bridge - Spoken with warmth and irony
Tempo slows, piano takes lead
You know what's sweetest about you, my friend?
soft laugh
You never, ever doubt yourselfânot even in the end!
While experts tremble with uncertainty and fear,
You march forward boldly... straight into the wall! [crash sound effect]
And then you say: "Well, who knew there was a wall right there?!"
The engineers were shoutingâbut you don't hear their prayer,
Because you have vision, dreams, and a master plan!
sigh
(That the plan's like Swiss cheeseâfull of holes... well, understand?)
Verse 3
Music builds up again
But last weekâoh boy! [laughs] âthat was the peak!
You said: "I'm running for mayor of this city we speak!"
"I know how to fix everythingâpolitics is bad!"
That you've never been to a meeting... details again, not sad?
And you know what? You might actually win this race!
Because people love the confidentâeven when they're out of place!
[vocalization] Ahh-ahh-ahh!
They'll elect you 'cause you shout so loud and clear,
While the smart ones stay silentâknowing how much they don't hear!
Final Chorus - Full arrangement
Ohhh, my dear friend, you're golden, it's true,
I love you even though you amaze me with all that you do!
[vocalization] Woah-oh-oh!
The less you know,
The more you believe in yourself, don't you know!
And now you're in parliament, suit and tie so neat,
Deciding on budgetsâthough you don't know what's concrete!
laughs
But it's fine, dear friendâat least you're entertaining,
And when everything burns downâyou're calm and not complaining!
[vocalization] Ooh-ooh-yeah!
Outro - Spoken warmly
Music fades to soft guitar and piano
Dear friend...
sigh
I write this not from spite, but from love so pure and bright,
Because you're a perfect example of how:
Ignorance plus confidence equals success in life, somehow!
While I sit here worrying if I know enough each day,
You're already at the topâwithout studying the way!
And maybe... just maybe... you're right in the end?
Maybe the world belongs to confident fools, my friend?
chuckles warmly
But you know what?
I still love you, brother mine!
Because even though you're a textbook case divine,
At least you're never boringâthat's for sure!
laughs affectionately
And when you become prime minister (and you will, I'm certain!),
Please appoint me as Minister of Common Sense...
Oh wait... [pause] ...that ministry doesn't exist.
sigh
Well then, just keep going as you are, persist!
Soft humming fades out
Mmm-mmm-mmm...
End
Post-credits spoken - optional
P.S. If you recognize yourself in this songârejoice!
It means you're self-aware enough not to suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect...
Or you suffer so much, you think this is about someone else!
Warm laughter
