THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA
THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA * TV, Beer and so little time The Dumbing Down project has begun Their fat man messiah with the large black hole will tell you how to think will tell you how to vote Speak, sit and roll over he said Obey his commands or you Might end up dead You can click the remote But he’s on every channel You can try to hide But eventually he’ll find you Think like me and do what I do They are all full of lies But my words are true Do not deviate But stay the same Others may follow So who will we blame? They found him later Dead in his chair Some people say He’s been dead a whole year But nobody missed him Nobody cared Cause nobody moved From out of their chair. Their minds have been programmed The dumbing is done The project completed It’s time to go home. * WordPlaya, January 24, 2010
