[Verse 1]
You cannot stop diarrhea with a finger.
I learned that lesson fast and hard.
White tile floor, cold and honest.
No hero move can call it off.
[Pre-Chorus]
A wise man sits still.
A wise man knows the signs.
When the room starts spinning,
you let the moment slide.
[Chorus]
A wise man with diarrhea does not cough.
Does not cough, does not cough.
A wise man with diarrhea does not cough.
He keeps it low, keeps it soft.
[Verse 2]
I saw pride leave the bathroom door.
I saw hope in a paper roll.
One bad cramp and the whole world changes.
One deep breath, then you let it go.
[Pre-Chorus]
A wise man sits still.
A wise man knows the signs.
When the room starts spinning,
you let the moment slide.
[Chorus]
A wise man with diarrhea does not cough.
Does not cough, does not cough.
A wise man with diarrhea does not cough.
He keeps it low, keeps it soft.
[Bridge]
No big speech, no victory pose.
Just good sense and a steady walk.
If trouble knocks with a thunderous grin,
you don’t make it worse by talking.
[Chorus]
A wise man with diarrhea does not cough.
Does not cough, does not cough.
A wise man with diarrhea does not cough.
He keeps it low, keeps it soft.
