Divine Comedy - Dumb It Down Lyrics
You've got a personalityWe'll throw you in the sea and watch you drownDumb it downYour concentration span's too longIt's longer than this song, that's not allowedDumb it downYou don't need books to know what's whatWe'll pile them up and burn them to the groundDumb it downAnd if you say that we're corruptWe'll round you up and run you out of townDumb it downDown and down and down it goesWhere it stops nobody knowsAnd not a lot of people seem to careWell it's so crazy, it's so greatWe can all communicateBut no one's saying anything out thereIs there anybody out there?Intelligence is dangerousA virus of the brain you pass aroundDumb it downWe'll vaccinate each boy and girlLobotomise the world through sight and soundDumb it downNo one can tell you what to thinkAnd if you think that's true then you're a clownDumb it down'Cause freedom's wasted on the freeYou just don't see the beauty all aroundDumb it downDown and down and down we slideIt's too tricky to decideBetween channels one and sixty-three'Cause everything is mindless fluffLike this world's not dumb enoughDoes anybody feel the same as me?Is there anybody listening?
