lyrics

VERSE 1:
I put on the evening news just to witness all the pandering
Some politician lying because his paymasters demand a win

And then what had to be a massive sin
He said Americans are smart then flashed the camera with a savage grin

See he’s heavily invested in your ignorance and
Take a look around...the payoff was magnificent

Cause ya’ll stupid as fuck...and I ain’t playing either
drowning in an ocean of dumb....you need to take a breather

See I use to be so hopeful for the future..
but now I just resigned myself to be prepared to shoot ya

You humans had potential but you let a douche reduce ya
Now you rally up with demagogues and cheer as they seduce ya

To be completely honest this was so predictable
because you so attracted to everything that’s despicable

that you can’t even see that your scum…..lets’s face it stupid has won
thats why we’re living in the age of dumb...come on

CHORUS:
I am not a sponsor
This is not a test

Most will nod to the beat and disregard the rest
But
This is for the ones of you that still think
Who can understand these words before their IQ sinks

Finally the day that we all feared has come

So Educate the people you love and just run

If this message goes unanswered…
I'm not surprised none

Not many stay smart in the Age of the dumb

VERSE 2:
Welcome to a nightmare scenario horrific in scope
Where hope dies choking on it’s own lies in its throat

This should have been an era where the education was limitless
Instead all we get’s bunch of lemmings walking off of the cliff

About as disappointing as it gets
A failed experiment a species whose programming must be on the fritz

There’s something broken in us... something other than lust
Or any vices that they label as such

We got unprecedented tech...and data at our fingertips
The internet was born and you use it just to take a shit

Why would WHY ever put YOUR faith in this
See I’m an atheist I don’t believe in shit unless there’s evidence

This is a wasteland of poorly formed thoughts
Confirmation bias that deceives and distorts


And anyone not down with it receives no support
So the ones that’s selling stupid shit get celebrated more

CHORUS:
I am not a sponsor
This is not a test

Most will nod to the beat and disregard the rest
But
This is for the ones of you that still think
Who can understand these words before their IQ sinks

Finally the day that we all feared has come
So gather up the people you love and just run

If this message goes unanswered…
I'm not surprised none
Not many stay smart in the Age of the dumb
