Genius is a song by The Friendly Indians (the creators of the Psych theme I Know, You Know) from their 1999 Pure Genius album that appears in S3E8 "Gus Walks into a Bank" alongside another one of their songs, Ever So Slowly. These are the only two songs by The Friendly Indians that are part of the Psychverse besides the theme song.

A small part of Genius is played at the start of the episode when Shawn turns on the radio after convincing Gus to go into the bank alone so that he can stay in the car.

Lyrics (lyrics heard in bold)[]

Though I never asked your opinion I'm thrilled
It's bold ideas like yours that got Socrates killed
No one says a word as you cut everything to size
Because they can't get a word in edgewise

So don't take your time
Just say the first thing that pops in your mind
We both know that you'd rather be right than kind
You're doing fine, Einstein

Oh yeah, you're a genius
Oh yeah, you got it all figured out
Oh yeah, you're a genius
So tell me what I'm all about
I don't want to be left out
When you save my life

A quick moment of silence while you take your seat
Don't surprise us or anything and try to be discreet
No one says a word but how could they resist
The ramblings of a neurotic narcissist

So don't take your time
Just say the first thing that pops in your mind
We both know that you'd rather be right than kind
You're doing fine, Einstein

Oh yeah, you're a genius
Oh yeah, you got it all figured out
Oh yeah, you're a genius
So tell me what I'm all about
I dont want to be left out

I try you on for size
I couldn't be that wise
The cocky smirk you wear's a disguise
You're not like us, Copernicus

Oh yeah, you're a genius
Oh yeah, you got it all figured out
Oh yeah, you're a genius
So tell me what I'm all about
'Cause I dont want to be left out

I'm standing here I'll make it clear I'll take you back to any year if you could only shut your mouth, mouth, mouth
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, you're a genius
Oh yeah, you got it all figured out
Oh yeah, you're a genius
Oh yeah, you got it all figured out

Oh yeah, you're a genius
Oh yeah, you got it all figured out
Oh yeah, you're a genius
So tell me what I'm all about
I dont want to be left out

I'm standing here I'll make it clear I'll take you back to any year if you could only shut your mouth
