In my mind I’m goin’ to Trivia Crack
Can’t you see the questions?
Can’t you just feel the Wheel spin?
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To beat me from behind?
Yes, I’m goin’ to Trivia Crack in my mind
Science it’s a tricky one
You best walk away and leave it open
Or steal it later through Challenge
Geography’s appearing now I’m cryin’
Ain’t I goin’ to Trivia Crack in my mind
There ain’t no doubt in no one’s stats
That Art’s the finest thing around
With Entertainment close behind
And, hey, now my score’s on fire, I’m bossin’
Ain’t I goin’ to Trivia Crack in my mind
In my mind I’m goin’ to Trivia Crack
Can’t you see the questions?
Can’t you just feel the Wheel spin?
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To beat me from behind?
Yes, I’m goin’ to Trivia Crack in my mind
Dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard the children calling
But History is my last point
Sports that might be omens say I’m losing, losing
I’m goin’ to Trivia Crack in my mind
With an able host of FB friends ’round me
Still I’m out of lives and battery
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I’m up and gone to Trivia Crack in my mind
In my mind I’m goin’ to Trivia Crack
Can’t you see the questions?
Can’t you just feel the Wheel spin?
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To beat me from behind?
Yes, I’m goin’ to Trivia Crack in my mind
