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 exceeding
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
Is no longer the exception
It's the rule
And I'm starting 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 taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
