Lyrics
Proud To Be Dumb
Words and Music © 2004 David Barrows and Mark Schleunes
I met three liberals on the plane
A flight from Dallas to L.A.
You shoulda heard what they were sayin?
About the good ole USA
Now Mama taught me to be kind
And good sense, Daddy gave me some
But I just had to speak my mind
When they said folks like us was dumb
I said?
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means believin? in Jesus
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means lovin? this land
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means I work for a livin?
And I?d hate to be smart
If smart means bein? like you
And then the smartest of the three
Said we should have some sympathy
For countries where they treat us bad
I don?t know when I been so mad
He said we'd have a safer land
If we'd just lend a helping hand
By takin' money from defense
I said, hey, try some common sense!
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb is for good over evil
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means supportin? our troops
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means believin? our leader
And I?d hate to be smart
If smart means bein? like you
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means believin? in Jesus
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means lovin? this land
I?m proud to be dumb
If dumb means I work for a livin?
And I?d hate to be smart
If smart means bein? like you
