I'm depraved and deranged,
All because the idiots are taking over,
Sleepwalking human beings,
Red-eyed, tired, mediocre and zombified,
Oh, why it'd ever have to come to this?
People idolising idiots,
We vote them into office, give them clout,
We tune in and flip the zine,
And mimic them mindlessly,
Like whatever duh like oh my God,
Don't care if people starve if I can shop,
I'd rather fit the mould than have a brain,
But it turns out the biggest idiot was me,
I'm sorry,
The idiots are taking over,
The idiots, they're taking over,
But somebody somewhere is smarter than you think.
