Ignoreland

These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v
Them years, wrecking all things virtuous and true
The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool.

They hypnotized the summer, Nineteen seventy-nine
Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready
Heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega ultra power dosing. Relax
Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons
Nineteen eighty, eighty-four, eighty-eight, ninety-two too, too
How to be what you can be, jump jam junking your energies
How to walk in dignity with throw-up on your shoes.

They amplified the autumn, nineteen seventy-nine
Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass
TV tells a million lies. The paper's terrified to report
Anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon
I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this. So, fuck you, man. (Fuck 'em)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.
If they weren't there we would have created them. Maybe, it's true
But I'm resentful all the same. Someone's got to take the blame
I know that this is vitriol. No solution, spleen-venting
But I feel better having screamed. Don't you?

They desecrated winter, nineteen seventy-nine
Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready
Heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega ultra power dosing. Relax
Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
