lyrics

It's not the right time to be sober
Now the idiots have taken over
It’s spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?
The anti-vaxxers are succeeding
Tell me, why and how are all the stupid people breeding?
Watson, it's really elementary
The industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber
Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

Darwin's rollin’ over in his coffin
The fittest are surviving much less often
Now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
Now angry mob mentality is no longer the exception, it's the rule
And I’m startin’ to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and Orange Presidents that ran it to the ground
With generals and the armies that obeyed them
Followers following fables
Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
The climatologists get the same one vote as science denying inbreds
Majority rule don't work in mental institutions
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand, biggest solutions

What are we left with?
A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
Who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
Pass on traditions
How to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

The idiots are taking over
