Whoever we are

Wherever were from

We shoulda noticed by now

Our behavior is dumb

And if our chances

Expect to improve

Its gonna take a lot more

Than tryin to remove

The other race

Or the other whatever

From the face

Of the planet altogether



They call it the earth

Which is a dumb kinda name

But they named it right

cause we behave the same...

We are dumb all over

Dumb all over,

Yes we are

Dumb all over,

Near n far

Dumb all over,

Black n white

People, we is not wrapped tight



Nurds on the left

Nurds on the right

Religous fanatics

On the air every night

Sayin the bible

Tells the story

Makes the details

Sound real gory

bout what to do

If the geeks over there

Dont believe in the book

We got over here



You cant run a race

Without no feet

n pretty soon

There wont be no street

For dummies to jog on

Or doggies to dog on

Religous fanatics

Can make it be all gone

(I mean it wont blow up

n disappear

Itll just look ugly

For a thousand years...)



You cant run a country

By a book of religion

Not by a heap

Or a lump or a smidgeon

Of foolish rules

Of ancient date

Designed to make

You all feel great

While you fold, spindle

And mutilate

Those unbelievers

From a neighboring state



To arms! to arms!

Hooray! thats great

Two legs aint bad

Unless theres a crate

They ship the parts

To mama in

For souvenirs: two ears (get down!)

Not his, not hers, (but what the hey? )

The good book says:

("it gotta be that way!")

But their book says:

"revenge the crusades...

With whips n chains

n hand grenades..."

Two arms? two arms?

Have another and another

Our God says:

"there aint no other!"

Our God says

"its all okay!"

Our God says

"this is the way!"



It says in the book:

"burn n destroy...

n repent, n redeem

n revenge, n deploy

n rumble thee forth

To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side

cause they dont go for whats in the book

n that makes em bad

So verily we must choppeth them up

And stompeth them down

Or rent a nice french bomb

To poof them out of existance

While leaving their real estate just where we need it

To use again

For temples in which to praise our god

("cause he can really take care of business!")



And when his humble tv servant

With humble white hair

And humble glasses

And a nice brown suit

And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls

Tells us our God says

Its okay to do this stuff

Then we gotta do it,

cause if we dont do it,

We aint gwine up to hebbin!

(depending on which book youre using at the

Time...cant use theirs... it dont work

...its all lies...gotta use mine...)

Aint that right?

Thats what they say

Every night...

Every day...

Hey, we cant really be dumb

If were just following gods orders

Hey, lets get serious...

God knows what hes doin

He wrote this book here

An the book says:

He made us all to be just like him,"

So...

If were dumb...

Then God is dumb...

(an maybe even a little ugly on the side)
