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

1979

Marched into the capital, brooding, duplicitous

Wicked and able, media-ready, heartless and labeled

Super US citizen, super achiever, mega-ultra power-dosing, relax

Defense, defense, defense, defense

Yeah, yeah, yeah, huh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ignoreland

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ignoreland

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The information nation took

Their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons

1980, '84, '88

'92, 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

1979

Calculate the capital

Up the republic, my skinny ass

TV tells a million lies

The papers 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 it wasn'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 desecrate the winter

1979

Capital collateral

Brooding, duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready

Heartless and labeled

Super US citizen, super achiever, mega-ultra power-dosing, relax

Defense, defense, defense, defense

Yeah, yeah, yeah, huh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ignoreland

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ignoreland

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ignoreland

Yeah, yeah, yeah
