  Where are all the stupid people   from ?
  And h  ow'd they get to b  e so dumb   ?
  Bred on purple mountain   range
Feed amber waves of g  rains
To lesser human   beings, zero feel  ings
 
 
        
 
 
Blame it on
Huma  n nature, mans destiny (m  ans destiny)
  Blame it on the greedioc  racy (greediocracy)
Fear of   god
The fear of   change
The fear of   truth
  Add the bill of rights, subtract the   wrongs
  There's no answers
  Memorize and sing star spangled   songs
  When the questions
  Aren't ever   asked
Is anybody   learning from the   past ?
We're l  iving in   united stagnatio  n        
 
 
            (2x)
 
 
  Father what have I   done ?
I   took   that 2  2
A g  ift to   me from   you
To be  d with me each   night
Kept it cl  ean
Polished it   well
Che  rished every   cartridge,   every   shell
  Down, by the creek, under   brush, under dirt
There's a   carcass of my second k  ill                              
  Down, by the park, under   stone, under pine
There's a   carcass of my brother W  illiam
Brother w  here, have you gone to ?
I swear, I never thought I   could
 
I see so many times
They told me to shoot   straight
 
Don't pull the trigger, squeeze
That will insure a   kill
A kill is what you want
A kill is why we b  reed                          
 
 
                           (2x)
 
 
The chr  istians love their   guns
The chu  rch and n  ra                            
Pray for   their salvat  ions
Prey on   the lower fa  iths                          
  The story book's been   read
And every line b  elieved                                   
  Curriculum's been   set
Logic is a t  hreat
Reason searched and sei  zed                           
 
 
          (2x)
             
            
 
 
  Jerry spent some time in Michi  gan      
A t  wenty year vac  ation, after   all he had a dim  e
A d  ime is worth a   lot more in Det  roit            
A di  me in cali  fornia, a tw  enty dollar   fine
 
 
           
           
 
 
  Jerry only stayed a couple   months         
  It's hard to enj  oy yourself while b  leeding out the   ass
  Asphyxiation   is simple and   fast       
  It beats seven  teen fun years of   being someones   bitch
 
 
Don't thin  k (stay)
Drink your w  ine (home)
Watch the fire   burn (be)
His problems not   mine (safe)
Just be that model citi  zen               
 
 
  I wish I had a schilling            
For every senseless   killing
I'd b  uy a government
  America's for sale            
And you can get a good deal   on it
  And make a healthy profit
 
 
Or ma  ybe, tear it ap  art
  Start with assump  tion
  That a million people are   smart
  Smarter than o  ne                      
 
 
          (2x)
           
           
 
 
  Serotonin's gon  e
She gave up, dr  ifted away          
  Sara f  led, thought process   gone
  She left her an  swering machine   on
  The greeting l  eft spoken sinc  ere
  Messages   no one will ever   hear
 
 
  Ten thousand   messages a   day
A million   more transmissions   lay
Victims   of the laissez   faire
  Ten thousand   voices, a hundred   guns
A hundred   decibels turns to   one
One   bullet, one empty   head
 
 
  Now with serotonin   gone
 
 
               (2x)
 
 
  The man who used to speak
Perfor  ms a cute routine
  Feel a little patro  nized
Don't feel b  ad
They found a way inside your   head
And you feel a bit mis  led
It's not that they don't   care, yeah
 
 
The tel  evision's put a   thought inside your head
  Like a barry mani  low, jingle
I'd li  ke, to teach the world to   sing
In perfect harmo  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...)
 
 
                   
            
              
 
 
        
           
 
 
  Place a   wager   on your   greed
A wa  ger   on your p  ride
  Why   try to   beat them   when, a mi  llion   others t  ried ?
 
 
  We are the w  hore
  Intellectually   spayed
  We are the q  ueer
  Dysfunctionally r  aised

One more pill to kill the pain
One more pill to kill the pain
  One more pill to kill the   pain
  Living through con  formity
 
 
     
                            
One more prayer to keep me safe
One more prayer to keep us warm
  One more prayer to keep us   safe
  There's gonna be a   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
  La na na na na
  Na na na na na

  The going get tough, the tough get debt
  Don't pay attention, pay the rent
  Next of kins pay for your sins
  A little faith should keep us   safe
 
 
           
  
  
Save us
  The human, existence
  Is failing, resistance
  Essential, the future
  Written off, the odds are
  Astronomically against us
  Only moron and genius
  Would fight a losing battle
  Against the super ego
  When giving in is so damn comfor  ting
 
 
And so we   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 de  feat, live in dec  line
  Be the victim of our own de  sign
The status   quo, built on sus  pect
  Why would any  one stick out their   neck ?
Fellow mem  bers
Club "we've got   ours"
I'd   like to intro  duce you to our   host
He's got   his, and I've got   mine
Meet the dec  line
 
 
              
 
 
We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition
In the class war
We are worker
We love our queen
We sacrifice
We're soilent green
 
 
We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition
In the class war
