NOFX - THE IDIOTS ARE TAKING OVER

it’s not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

mensa membership conceding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
watson, it’s really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin’s rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it’s worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality’s no longer the exception, it’s the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there’s no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don’t work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it’s their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

the idiots are takin over [x8]

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - THE NEW YEAR

so this is the new year
and I don’t feel any different

the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance
in the distance…

so this is the new year
and I have no resolution

it’s self-assigned penance?
for problems with easy solutions

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let’s make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one
i wish the world was flat like the old days
so i could travel just by folding the map
no more airplanes or speed-trains or freeways
there’d be no distance that could hold us back

so this is the new year
so this is the new year
so this is the new year
so this is the new year
