- Poor Thing Lyrics / with translationsGive me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind
Tell me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind
The world seems so small
The sooner you realise it
As people we are so small
I know you've realised it
It might be a good thing if there were no heroes
I can't take heroes
It might be a good thing if we had no heroes
There are no heroes
Teach me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind
I'll gather up all my remaining education
And blank it from my mind
The world seems so small
The sooner you realise it
As people we are so small
I know you've realised it
It might be a good thing if there were no heroes
I can't take heroes
It might be a good thing if we have no heroes
There are no heroes
So why do you always hinder me?
Why do you always hinder me?
I'm lost, another mo' passed
There's no need to remind me
Let me blank it from my mind
Tell me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind
The world seems so small
The sooner you realise it
As people we are so small
I know you've realised it
It might be a good thing if there were no heroes
I can't take heroes
It might be a good thing if we had no heroes
There are no heroes
Teach me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind
I'll gather up all my remaining education
The world seems so small
The sooner you realise it
As people we are so small
I know you've realised it
It might be a good thing if there were no heroes
I can't take heroes
It might be a good thing if we have no heroes
There are no heroes
So why do you always hinder me?
Why do you always hinder me?
I'm lost, another mo' passed
There's no need to remind me
