Not-very-smart land

G5 E5 G#5 A5

IQs are very low but threat levels are high

They got a mandate,

They don't want man-dates,

G5 E5 G#5 A5

They got so many hates and people to despise

In the dust bowl,

Cerebral black hole,

G5 E5 G#5 A5

The average weight is well over 200 pounds

I hate to generalize,

But have you seen the thighs?

G5 E5 G#5 A5

Most haven't seen their genitalia in a while

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe that's why they're so scared of us

We've concerns others than fear and hunger pangs

[Chorus]

F5 G5 E5 G#5 A5

They gotta punch new holes in the Bible Belt

They've blown out the fire

Under the melting pot

G5 E5 G#5 A5

The red blood of America is starting to clot

No compromise,

No sight through others' eyes,

G5 E5 G#5 A5

They're just flies spreading pieces of shit

You gotta emigrate

Stop living in hate

G5 E5 G#5 A5

What makes this country great is dwelling on either side

[Pre-Chorus]

They don't want visitors in Jesusland,

They want life bland and canned in the fatherland

F5 C5

Then we're coming after you

[Verse]

The fear stricken

Born again Christian

G5 E5 G#5 A5

They got a vision, a homogenized state

Textbook decline,
