These bastards stole their power from
The victims of the us v. them years
Wrecking all things virtuous and true
The undermining social democratic
Downhill slide into abysmal
Lost lamb off the precipice into
The trickle down run-off pool
They hypnotized the summer
1979
Marched into the capital
Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready
Heartless and labeled, super U.S. citizen, super achiever
Mega ultra power-dosing, relax defense, defense, defense, defense
Yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ignoreland
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ignoreland
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The information nation took
Their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons
1980, ’84, ’88
’92 too, too
How to “be what you can be”
Jump jam junking your energy
How to walk in dignity
With throw-up on your shoes
They amplified the autumn
1979
Calculate the capital
Up the Republic, my skinny ass!
TV tells a million lies
The papers terrified to report anything that isn’t handed
On a presidential spoon
I’m just profoundly frustrated by all this
So, fuck you, man
(Fuck ’em)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ignoreland
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ignoreland
If they wasn’t there we would have created them
Maybe it is true
But I’m resentful all the same
Someone’s got to take the blame
I know that this is vitriol
No solution, spleen-venting
But I feel better having screamed
Don’t you?
They desecrate the winter
1979
Capital collateral
Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready
Heartless and labeled, super U.S. citizen, super achiever
Mega ultra power-dosing, relax defense, defense, defense, defense
Yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ignoreland
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ignoreland
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ignoreland
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(And that takes us out of the record, and into the revolution. Take it.)
