lyrics

Practically Brainwashed

I don’t wanna see no dumb stories
 I just wanna learn the facts 
Give me the truth and stop the crap
 And in all categories bullshit attracts us

When they say U-F-Os are real 
And creation with its ism has appeal 
A conspiracy lurks everywhere you look
 and we believe what they say

Not just the cops are corrupt
But even the President
All they want is your money and your soul
 We’re doomed and condemned 
We’re screwed

E-S-P and The Secret, Loch Ness
When George Bush talks to Jesus every day
When Bible thumpers are changing the value of PI
 But crop circles stay round

  Why people act like they’re stupid
And why they do the cruelest things
 Just because their god tells them so
 Please, use your brain think for your own self

Practically brainwashed
Drop down your blinders 
Go learn some real Science
