Lyrics
Cultivated Ignorance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A farmer in his field trying to plant the seed of fear.
but he'll double profits with hate, it grows great this time of year.
That's how you gain control, you make them hostile and afraid.
Make bigots out of kids who were only concerned about getting laid.
If the terror alert is red that should mean that we're all dead
But instead we leave our beds and spend money to protect our heads.
When the news makes you more ignorant, tell me who's to blame
It's more like we're a field of crops and every patch has a name
Cultivating ignorance is the only way to run the show
The more news you watch the less you really know
Unplug your television, and fuck that shit, let go outside
And maybe Beck and O'Reilly will commit ritual suicide.
Ted Haggard is an asshole, who let this dickhead preach to you
He's anti-gay, so he can have his fag and fuck it too
Ann Coulter's a bitch and I read about a page of one of her books
She's a cunt in name and spirit, and with her face, I'd say looks
It's not journalism when you call a candidate a fag
Her eggs kill themselves, that's why she's always on the rag.
I hope Hannity gets waterboarded because he's a fucking prick
I can't wait for Cheney to shoot Glenn in the face, with his Dick
Cultivating ignorance is the only way to run the show
The more news you watch the less you really know
Unplug your television, quit falling for that shit and read a book
I'd like to see Murdock convince the world he's not a crook.
