Dumb It Down |
| You’ve got a personality |
| We’ll throw you in the sea and watch you drown, dumb it down |
| Your concentration span’s too long |
| It’s longer than this song, that’s not allowed, dumb it down |
| You don’t need books to know what’s what |
| We’ll pile them up and burn them to the ground, dumb it down |
| And if you say that we’re corrupt |
| We’ll round you up and run you out of town, dumb it down |
| Down and down and down it goes, where it stops nobody knows |
| And not a lot of people seem to care |
| Well it’s so crazy, it’s so great, we can all communicate |
| But no one’s saying anything out there, is there anybody out there? |
| Intelligence is dangerous |
| A virus of the brain, you pass around, dumb it down |
| We’ll vaccinate each boy and girl |
| Lobotomize the world through sight and sound, dumb it down |
| No one can tell you what to think |
| And if you think that’s true, then you’re a clown, dumb it down |
| 'Cause freedom’s wasted on the free |
| You just don’t see the beauty all around, dumb it down |
| Down and down and down we slide, it’s too tricky to decide |
| Between channels one and sixty-three |
| 'Cause everything is mindless fluff, like this world’s not dumb enough |
| Does anybody feel the same as me? |
| Is there anybody listening? |
