Ignoreland
(专辑: Automatic For The People - 1992)
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 energies 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
paper's 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 weren'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.)
