Lyrics

whoever we are, wherever we're from, we shoulda noticed by now, our behavior is dumb, and if our chances, expect to improve, it's gonna take a lot more, than tryin' to remove, the other race, or the other whatever, from the face, of the planet altogether, they call it the earth, which is a dumb kinda name, but they named it right, 'cause we behave the same. we are dumb all over, dumb all over, yes we are, dumb all over, near'n far, dumb all over, black 'n white, people, we is not wrapped tight, nurds on the left, nurds on the right, religious fanatics, on the air every night, sayin' the bible, tells the story, makes the details, sound real gory, 'bout what to do, if the geeks over there, don't believe in the book, we got over here, you can't run a race, without no feet, 'n pretty soon, there won't be no street, for dummies to jog on, or doggies to dog on, religious fanatics, can make it be all gone, (i mean it won't blow up, 'n disappear, it'll just look ugly, for a thousand years.), you can't run a country, by a book of religion, not by a heap, or a lump or a smidgeon, of foolish rules, of ancient date, designed to make, you all feel great, while you fold, spindle, and mutilate, those unbelievers, from a neighboring state, to arms! to arms!, hooray! that's great, two legs ain't bad, unless there's a crate, they ship the parts, to mama in, for souvenirs: two ears, not his, not hers, the good book says: "it's gotta be that way!", but their book says: "revenge the crusades. with whips 'n chains, 'n hand grenades.", two arms? two arms?, have another and another, our cod says: "there ain't no other!", our cod says, "it's all okay!", our god says "this is the way!", it says in the book: "burn 'n destroy. 'n repent, 'n redeem, 'n revenge, 'n deploy, 'n rumble thee forth, to the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side, 'cause they don't go for what's in the book, 'n that makes 'em bad, so verily we must choppeth them up, and stompeth them down, or rent a nice french bomb, to poof them out of existence, while leaving their real estate just where we need it, to use again, for temples in which to praise ourgod, and when his humble tv servant, with humble white hair, and humble glasses, and a nice brown suit, and maybe a blonde wife who takes phone calls, tells us our god says, it's okay to do this stuff, then we gotta do it, 'cause if we don't do it, we ain't gwine up to hebbin!, (depending on which book you're using at the time. can't use theirs.it don't work.it's all lies. gotta use mine.), ain't that right?, that's what they say, every night. everyday. hey, we can't really be dumb, if we're just following, god's orders, hey, let's get serious. god knows what he's doin', he wrote this book here, an'the book says: he made us all to be just like him,", so. if we're dumb. then god is dumb.
