where are all the stupid people from

^ ^ ^

and how'd they get to be so dumb?

[C5*]

bred on purple mountain range

feed amber waves of grains

to lesser human beings, zero feelings

human nature, man's destiny (man's destiny)

blame it on the greediocracy (greediocracy)

^ ^

the fear of God the fear of change fear of truth

add the bill of rights

subtract the wrongs (theres no answers!)

memorize and sing

star spangled songs (when the questions!)

aren't ever asked

is anybody learning from the past?

we're living in united stagnation

|--------------------------------------------------

father what have i done

i took that twenty two

a gift to me from you

to bed with me each night

kept it clean polished it well

^ [C5*] ^

cherished every cartridge every shell

down by the creek under brush under dirt

theres a carcass of my second kill

|---------------

|--------------- (i can't get this to sound right!)

down at the park under stone under under pine

^ ^

theres a carcass of my brother william

brother where have you gone to i swear

i never thought i could i see so many times

they told me to shoot straight

don't pull the trigger squeeze

that will insure a kill a kill is what you want

^ ^ ^

to kill is why we breed

(jerry spent some time in michigan)

a twenty year vacation after all he had a dime

(a dime is worth a lot more in detroit)

a dime in california a twenty dollar fine

|--------------------------------------------------

(jerry only stayed a couple months)

its hard to enjoy yourself

while bleeding out the ass

(asphyxiation is simple and fast)

it beats seventeen fun years of being someonesbitch

don't think (stay!)

drink your wine (home!)

watch the fire burn (be!)

his problems not mine (safe!)

just be that model citizen

(i wish i had a schilling)

(for every senseless killing)

(i'd buy a government)

(americas for sale)

(and you can get a good deal on it)

(and make a healthy profit)

or.................

maybe, tear it apart start with assumption

that a million people are smart smarter than one

serotonin's gone she gave up drifted away

^ ! [C#5*]

sara fled thought process gone

she left her answering machine on

^ ! [C#5*]

the greeting left spoke insincere

messages no one will ever hear

10,000 messages a day

a million more transmissions lay

victims of the laissez faire

10,000 voices a hundred guns

100 decibels turns to one

one bullet one empty head

now with serrotonin gone (gone!)
