where are all the stupid people from
and how'd they get to be so dumb?
bred on purple mountain range
feed amber waves of grains
to lesser human beings, zero feelings
F5^
human nature, man's destiny (man's destiny)
blame it on the greediocracy (greediocracy)
the fear of God the fear of change fear of truth
add the bill of rights
subtract the wrongs (theres no answers!)
memorize and sing
star spangled songs (when the questions!)
aren't ever asked
is anybody learning from the past?
we're living in united stagnation
father what have i done
i took that twenty two
a gift to me from you
to bed with me each night
kept it clean polished it well
cherished every cartridge every shell
down by the creek under brush under dirt
theres a carcass of my second kill
down at the park under stone under under pine
theres a carcass of my brother william
brother where have you gone to i swear
i never thought i could i see so many times
they told me to shoot straight
F5^
that will insure a kill a kill is what you want
to kill is why we breed
the christians love their guns
(jerry spent some time in michigan)
a twenty year vacation after all he had a dime
(a dime is worth a lot more in detroit)
a dime in california a twenty dollar fine
(jerry only stayed a couple months)
its hard to enjoy yourself
while bleeding out the ass
(asphyxiation is simple and fast)
it beats seventeen fun years of being someonesbitch
E5^
his problems not mine (safe!)
just be that model citizen
(i wish i had a schilling)
(for every senseless killing)
(i'd buy a government)
(americas for sale)
(and you can get a good deal on it)
(and make a healthy profit)
or
maybe, tear it apart start with assumption
that a million people are smart smarter than one
serotonin's gone she gave up drifted away
she left her answering machine on
E5^ D5! C#5 *
messages no one will ever hear
10,000 messages a day
a million more transmissions lay
victims of the laissez faire
10,000 voices a hundred guns
100 decibels turns to one
one bullet one empty head
now with serrotonin gone (gone!)
the man who used to speak
performs a cute routine
fell a little patronized
don't feel bad they found a way inside your head
and you feel a bit mislead
its not that they don't care yeah
the televisions put a
thought inside your head
like a barry manilow
jingle i'd like to teach the world to sing
in perfect har-mo-ny
a symphonic blank stare yeah
it doesn't make you care (make you care!)
not designed to make you care (make you care!!)
they're betting you won't care (you won't care!!)
(play with wah-wah pedal)
they'll place a wager on your greed
a wager on your pride
why try to beat them when
a million others tried
we are the whore
intellectually spade
we are the queer
dysfunctionally raised
one more pill to kill the pain
one more pill to kill the pain
better place
lost the battle lost the war
lost the things worth living for
lost the will to win the fight
one more pill to kill the pain
na na na na na
na na na na na
na na na na na
na na na na na
the bored get tough the tough get dead
don't pay attention pay the rent
our next of kins pay for your sins
a little faith should keep us safe
(save us!)
go on with our lives
we know the truth but prefer lies
lies are simple, simple is bliss
why go against tradition when we can
admit defeat live in decline
be the victim our own design
with status quo built on suspect
why would anyone stick out there neck
fellow members club we got ours
i'd like to introduce you to our host
he's got his and i've got mine
meet the decline
