I've been told by a friend
Or at least I wish he was
That I should go and find the best
I'm not sure what that consists

Chances are it's not gonna find me first
Gonna have to open my eyes
Discover things I don't wanna find
But if you're the smartest man in the room

You're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong people
Ain't nothing wrong with knowin'
Way more than I should
That way when I get the words

I'll know exactly where it hurts
Even though the comfort here feels like a home
I just can't stop right here
Still gotta whole lot more years
But if you're the smartest man in the room

You're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong people
Maybe I took what you said just a little too far
Maybe I took it just far enough
To help me find my way up
But if you're the smartest man in the room

You're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong
Hanging with the wrong people
