[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
 F#mIt's not the right time to be sDober
ANow the idiots have B/D#taken over
 DSpreading like a social Bmcancer, is there an Aanswer?
 F#mMensa membership conDceding
ATell me why and how are all the B/D#stupid people breeding?
 DWatson, it's really eleBmmentary, the industrial revoAlution
Has flipped the bitch on evolF#mution
The beDnevolent and wise are being Dmthwarted, ostracized, what a Abummer
The world keeps getting F#mdumber
Insensitivity is sFtandard and Dfaith is being fancied over Areason
[Verse 2]
F#mDarwin's rolling over in his Dcoffin
The Afittest are surviving much less B/D#often
Now Deverything seems to be reBmversing, and it's Aworsening
F#mSomeone flopped a steamer in the Dgene pool
Now Aangry mob mentality's no B/D#longer the exception, it's the Drule
And I'm starting to feel a Bmlot like Charlton AHeston
Stranded on a primate F#mplanet
Apes and orangutans that Dran it to the ground, with Dmgenerals and the armies that oAbeyed them
 AFollowers following F#mfables
Philosophies that eFnable them to rule without reDgard
[Interlude]
A
[Bridge]
 F#mThere's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebDrated
 F#mPolitical scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas Dinbred
 AMajority rule, don't work in mental instiF#mtutions
Sometimes the Asmallest softest voice carries the grand 
[Verse 3]  
Biggest soF#mlutions. What are we Dleft with?
A Anation of god-fearing B/D#pregnant nationaDlists
Who feel it's their Bmduty to populate the Ahomeland
Pass on traF#mditions
How to get ahead reFligions
And prosDperity via simpleton Aculture
[Outro]
The idiots are taking Fover,   Dthe idiots are taking Aover
The idiots are taking Fover,   Dthe idiots are taking Aover
The idiots are taking Fover,   Dthe idiots are taking Aover
The idiots are taking Fover,   Dthe idiots are taking Aover
