Lyrics
they're burnin' all the books
they say we don't need
I won't miss 'em
cuz I don't read
all I need to know
is on the TV
talkin' heads a-bobblin'
tell me what to believe
fear unbalanced Fox News
shows me all that's been done
I thank the Lord that it's cool 2B dumbb
everywhere I look
they tell me I'm ill
but I'll get better
if I take their pill
who cares what the small print says
can happen to me
I'm counting on Big Pharma
to make me HD
life is pretty as their pictures
when my dose kicks on
I thank the Lord that it's cool 2B dumbb
bridge:
call me a slacker
call me a fool
they taught me nothin'
when I went thru school
my mind is empty
I wonder why
all that seems to matter is
I know how to buy
they're taking all the vitamins
out of our food
replace 'em all with chemicals
that make us feel good
designer Frankenfood
from their biotech plan
I'll be running faster than
the six million dollar man
and it all looks so beautiful
ya gotta taste some
I thank the Lord that it's cool 2B dumbb
there's terror everywhere
and every reason for fears
but I can flush 'em all
with a case o' lite beer
hey who can I trust
within an inch of my life
maybe my best buddy
wants a piece o' my wife
but I don't give a damn ya see
cuz I gotta gun
I thank the Lord that it's cool 2B dumbb
shopping at the mall
till my credit's all done
I thank the Lord that it's cool 2B dumbb
lookin' round the world
for a new place to bomb
I thank the Lord that it's cool 2B dumbb
